Basically, I always feel that I am on drugs. It feels like something is controlling my thinking and that I am being blocked off from myself.
For example, I don't get this on ritalin, but I do on bupropion. Even bupropion feels like its compartmentalizing my brain. It's like it is setting up these mental walls and I am only able to live within a certain portion of my brain.
My thoughts are automatically made positive. I am not able to 'see' or analyze a problem properly because it's like the circuitry involved in thinking about anything negative is being blocked off.
I tolerate lithium because it doesn't do this. I can still think deeply about an issue it's just that the intensity of the emotional reaction to a particular thought is lessened. Antidepressants don't reduce the intensity of the negative thoughts, they just prevent me from feeling them at all.
