I've been on meds since last fall Cymbalta 60 mg (once a day) for depression and anxiety and Buspar 10 mg (3x a day) since December. I've been dating someone for over two years now and he's convinced that my medication is changing my overall personality into a completely different person. We had a long talk last night and this is a rough summary of what he said:
I've been concerned that your medication, while helpful in some ways, is changing who you are. I've been trying to remember past the depression and remember who you used to be. I know you better now than I ever have, but is what I'm seeing now who you've been inside all along and there are fewer limits on expression now, or is this someone new, twisted by medication into someone else?
I don't feel like my personality has changed that much but I do feel like my ad isn't cutting it anymore. I don't know whether to blame that on seasonal affective disorder or what. I don't see my therapist again until Thursday but I was wanting to see if anyone had any suggestions or thoughts on here.
