I have ADD and Anxiety. My ADD is the source of my anxiety, so I started taking meds for my ADD. It didn't fully fix my ADD, but because of the improved focus for the first time in my life, I started becoming good at something. It did make me extra bad with when I interacted with people, but I didnt mind that because for the first time in my life I didnt feel useless, and that I could do something. Now I have been taking the meds for 7 years and my career is going really good. But now, I have very few friends and been single the entire time. So thought I should cut down on the meds, and its been less than a week and feels like everything i worked for is crashing down around me. I am not able to do the smallest assignment, and my clients are losing trust in me. So, now I dont know what to do - Its not that I am going to be any better without my meds but dont know if I want to take them for the rest of my life but at the same time I do want to make friends. I lived my entire life being the useless guy everywhere, and the meds made people start respecting me - all that is going to go now...
