actually meds have been my greatest asset. Adderall XR 20mg in the morning and 10-20 instant release in the afternoon. Then I take 10mg Celexa before bed (I cut the dosage in half and that works best for me). The Addreall has helped my mind focus in a way I didn't know it could. I'm not hyper. I feel calm and more confident. It's given me the tools to be able to start being myself. Instead of constantly worrying about what others are doing or thinking about me I've been able to think more about the present and the world around me. I still worry and have social anxiety but it doesn't bother me to the point where I'm crying, hurt, angry, depressed, or ready to kill myself. I've been able to look at a situation and go, 'Hmm. That didn't go well. What can I do to change that in the future?' And I have! Adderall releases seratonin and Celexa prevents it from leaving the system. I don't recomment anti-depressants by themselves. Like you say, JumpingHoops, they only numb you. But combined with a stimulant, it's been truly transformative.
