I’m not sure if I actually have autism, but did anyone else feel like they did after quitting? In terms of anxiety and barely being able to talk to people! I haven’t been on stimulants (adderall) since June last year, and I’ve since cycled through wellbutrin, strattera, and now guanfacine in that order. Off or on these meds I have had varying levels of poor social skills. It makes me think I could only partake in conversations at work or small talk while on stimulants. But I also always hated that shit. I’m pretty sure I could function a little better before all this but I still had a lot of anxiety and masked a lot of things.
The brain in recovery is fragile and a mess. I wouldn’t say autistic, but my sociability has definitely been impaired and sometimes speaking in coherent sentences is a challenge.
And I have spoken professionally for a living in the past lol.
Just accept you’re going to feel weird and often very dumb for a long time but that it will get better.
