So I finally went and got diagnosed with depression and anxiety/social phobia two days ago, and diagnosed with ADD as well, this is my first time taking any medication. I was given Zoloft and Adderall.
Yesterday was the first whole day I was taking them and I'm starting out on a low dose of Adderall. Once it wore off in the middle of the day I was suddenly really confused. I was driving my friend around and she had to tell me when to turn because I just suddenly forgot which lane I was even in turning out of a parking lot. It freaked me out a bit. So I was wondering if it's normal for other people prescribed Adderall that when it wears off you feel utterly exhausted and sometimes really confused/delirious?
And for the more concerning reaction I took Zoloft the last two nights since it makes you drowsy but I think I'm in that 20% that has the opposite effect because I haven't slept well at all. The first night I woke up feeling sick and almost bloated, I figured I had the flu or something but then when I woke up I felt fine. The second night was about the same but I didn't notice feeling as sick. I decided to trade it to taking Zoloft in the morning since I can't sleep, and like a minute after taking it I was feeling sick and bloated again. My stool is also really loose (gross I'm sorry) and this started up when I started taking Zoloft. I also kind of keep getting hot flashes..? Is this a serious reaction? Is my body just adjusting? Or maybe I'm just sick...? I don't know. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated
