For me yes, the meds changed my personality but in a good way, and after much trial & error, they turned me into "myself", which is to say, the inner me that was submerged in severe depression, which slows cognition and can also make you very irritable & antisocial. I'm a lot less...

I was on anti-depressants for awhile. They helped take the uumph out of my emotions surrounding limerence if I remember correctly, but it didn't fix the loophole in my brain. Definitely a good start if you can find one that works for you (my mother was already the guineapig in that regard as she ha...

I've been on medications for sometime and then was going off them. About 6 months on and 6 months off. I didn't have much side effects from Wellbutrin and it worked well for me.

I do find myself going in a constant cycle of thinking rationally to thinking irrationally about the same thought, just with different emotion attached. I have done some journaling, but I also find it hard to put words on how I feel and my emo...
