What was the most surprising change you noticed after starting medication? - eviltoast

For me, it’s how much better I can do things I thought I was already fine at. Like engaging in conversations, handling complex logic, or just consciously relaxing.

    I guess that I started making better decisions and not choosing immediate gratification.

    Comparing my life to before I started medication is literally insane. (Diagnosed nearly 40 years old) I was a failure, had a decent job doing 20 hours a week at Apple as I couldn’t do more than that and be happy, I want happy but it would have been worse.

    I now drive, have a car and I’m a software developer. The most difficult challenge was trying not to think about the what ifs. What if I found out 2 years ago etc.
