Most if not all antidepressants have had that effect on me... and other than being totally emotionally numb, they haven't changed a thing. I still can't concentrate, can't finish things, I sleep way too much, and I have trouble *getting* to sleep, and I still have those panic attacks.
Which is why, after three different medications (Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro - which was the better of the three), I'm beginning to wonder if the depression is actually a resulting side-effect of adult ADD. My great-aunt recently informed me in her letter that it's a dominant problem with the women in my family (although I bear in mind the last four generations or so of the women in my family were single mothers...) It's just making more and more sense to me as I've investigated it. Now I need to find a psychiatrist who won't treat me like I'm a hypochondriac so I can take the test...
...this wasn't really the place to ramble about me, dammit. Sorry. Um. I just know what the constant sleepiness is like, and it's partly why I stopped taking the meds.
