Someone Please Help Me.I am loosing my mind.

Im in a long distance relationship.

This started about 4 days ago. I was stressed about 2 months back that I had cheated on my boyfriend. We cleared it up. I did not cheat it was my anxiety ( I had flirted with this guy and I labeled myself as a cheater)

4 days ago I started taking ADD meds. Focalin.

This is when things got crazy. I feel like my head is in a fog and Im going insane. Everything especially my relationship seems unreal. I fell CONSTANT AXIETY. I am crying CONSTANTLY.

I have NEVER been like this. EVER. I stopped taking the medication yesterday. and while my head feels better and I have moments of clarity the mood swings are still there. I have times where I say yeah I love my boyfriend! and then immediately I question if Im saying that because I love him or because I don't want to break up, or if Im pretending and then its back again to tears.

Right now I feel ok. I feel calm. but at the beginning of writing this post I was sobbing and with excruciating Anxiety.

How do I get this stupid medication out of me. I even sent him a text saying we should break up.

And then when he said why? my mind went blank and I could not think of reasons...or Am i just avoiding the true reason? AGH WHAT.

Help me please. I don't know if I do or don't and Im so confused and anxious.

Now Im back tocrying jesus

Did the doctor tell you to stop the medication? There's always side affects when starting and ending a medication cold turkey. Have you giving them a call?

No the doctor didn't tell me to stop but I jus could not deal with the head fog and anxiety so I stopped. And yeah I called he is not available right now

Maybe you need a different medication. I had some serious brain fog about 2 months ago and Zoloft took that away. That was about the only thing Zoloft did for me. I had to come off it because it was making my Dp/dr symptoms worse and gave me other weird side effects. Try to relax until you see or speak to your doctor. If you have some tea drink it. Take a nice hot bad. Rub Lavender essential oils on you.
