Its supposed to calm me down and make me more focused but is just making me agitated, nervous, and making it harder to think. Ive never had these problems in the past, it was just mostly hyperactivity and problems focusing for long periods of time. Also have been getting sexual side effects, sex is actually more enjoyable but im not having the sex drive i had before. Should i keep taking this or tell my therapist its not working?

But you know how therapists are, they only tell people that its going to work regardless, thats why its good to ask people who arent biest

Yes, some people actually need them, but those ADHD and depression medicines dont do any good for 90% of people. If these depression medicines were some kind of miracle almost everyone would be taking it. The fact of the matter is it doesnt work for 90% and they shouldnt be putting people on that medicine. They think if someones life is shitty at the moment then throw them on a depression medicine and they will get better, what a fucken copout. Im going to throw this bottle of "attention medicine" in the trash, i refuse to contribute to a company creating non-researched, non-proven, waste of life medicine.
