Sertraline is aggravating my ADHD

Gumshoes September 10th, 2020

I just started depression medication for the first time ever, the side effects are awful I've been getting hypomania fits and my ADHD is just like always on. and it knocks me out for a full hour after I take it and I feel kinda high.

I'm not sure if I should tell the doctor I want to switch medications
since I haven't been it very long
I don't like it, or even being on meds at all. I feel happy but also want to cry like there's a knot in my stomach but I'm laughing at everything. It's weird and I hate it.
I haven't been able to eat and I keep just wandering around the house, zoning out. I'm getting more disassociation. I figure the pills would help stop that?
and the worst one, is I haven't even been able to work properly because my ADHD has been going crazy since I started this medicine.

I don't know if I'm allowed to ask to go off medicines so soon after taking them or if I should stick it out for a few more days.

@Gumshoes if you feel like you need to talk to your doctor about it i would defiitely say go for it! I have had experiences with meds like this in the past, if its making your symptoms worse its worth brinigng up to your doctor, they could maybe reduce the dosage or just switch you to a different med entirely
