Im not sure what is happeneing.
My mind is really fast But I feel sort of slow and I am really down. My moods are fluctuating daily. Fine one day and sad the next. Not in a bipolar sort of way. I am avoiding the phone today. My head is very heavy. I am doing a very slow wean off my meds (really slow) and it has been going very well, no recent changes to my med routine. Except that I have been forgetting to take ritalin for about a week. My head feels really heavy. My toughts are so fast, like when I get thinking about something it comes out faster than I can process it adn I just want it out! So I am sloppy becasue I want to get it out. Could this be ritalin? Im scared I have the beginnings of something. But I also may be panicking. right?
As far as I know I have innactive depression but I am worried it is activating. This fear may continually be scaring me into this state recently. I dunno.

Maybe your body is responding to the lower levels of medication? Even if you're titrating slowly, I should think that you'd still feel the effects of less medication.
My panic attacks have my body and mind both racing at the same time (heart thumping, thoughts rabbitting around). I have taken Ativan before and it did slow my body way down.

I know Im not having a panic attack but it feels like my thoughts are way faster than I can think and I dont think its anxiety, you are probably right about it being the meds, but Im probably over worried about it. Im sure its nothing.
thanks CS

sounds like you are getting better and you need to make a concentrated effort to get your mind off yourself. it is very hard to do, but can be accomplished with practice. every time you think about how you are not feeling well, tell yourself that you do feel well.
