> You won't notice the effects of psych meds if they are working. You will notice the absence of symptoms (psychosis, depression, mania), but you won't feel them in your system usually, after some initial start-up side effects, like nausea or fatigue. That's the whole point of most meds - they don't create any kind of "high", unlike morphine or adderall or cannabis, so they don't become drugs of abuse.But more generally, RJ, I don't quite understand why you are taking the meds you're taking. It's a pretty heavy-duty regime - high doses of mood stabilizers, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics. As if you had severe bipolar 1 or psychotic depression with suicidal ideation. But you don't have these, do you?
It seems, from your own account, that your major issue is ADHD, that your p-doc refuses to prescribe stimulants because you once abused them and that, for reasons I really don't understand at all, you can't switch to another p-doc.
I think we could all be of more use to you if you could explain the situation more clearly.
