Yes, 100%. When I’m on my meds I’m much less chatty, and my tolerance for small talk is almost nonexistent.

Way more diplomatic and thoughtful about what I say when I’m off my meds.
However, I’ve been called “mature” by several partners because the meds make me ask/ say the difficult things bluntly without beating round the bush.
Thanks, A2, that’s really helpful—I’m going to try those tips. OP, yes same experience here. It’s a little unsettling but hopefully something we can get used to and adapt.
Yes
Yes. Highly unsustainable
Omg I've had this thought so many times. Obviously the medicine helps with focus and getting through tasks, but being off it always gives me so much more of a natural vibe when connecting with others. I try to kind of plan my medicine days around events like that, like if I know I need to be social I won't take it that day.
Yes, absolutely. I feel like on my meds I just want to be left alone to do my work and any interruption is annoying.
So what do we do to combat this? Any strategies/tips would be greatly appreciated!
I have one day a week where I’ll take my medicine a little later (when I get to the office instead of when I get up at home) I socialize a bit until it kicks in then I go about my day. It’s not often enough to throw off my productivity but keeps me in the loop
