I work in an office, its small only 5 people but I don't show the kind of emotions that I think my boss expects me to, like he seems to think I'm not enthusiastic about something because I don't visually express it, I'm sure part of it is just my character but I know most of it is from either the drugs or my medication. I need a way to explain it without going into the really specific details.

Answer:

If I were you, I'd do what I do and learn how to fake enthusiasm. I'm on Lexapro and Xanax and sometimes the Xanax will make me want to crawl under my desk and take a nap. My job is too important to me, so I do my best to play along. I'm getting pretty good at it!

I TAKE THE SAME MEDS AND FOUND THAT IF I TAKE THEM BEFORE BEDTIME THEY DO NOT KEEP ME FROM FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AT WORK. BUT IF I TAKE THEM DURING THE DAY, CANT FOCUS OR FUNCTION NORMALLY. ALSO CANT RESPOND OR REMEMBER AS WELL IF TAKEN DURING THE DAY. DID YOU TRY TAKING THEM AROUND 7PM BEFORE BED. MAYBE YOU WONT HAVE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING.

Just tell them you have a mood disorder.

I take Lamictal, and I actually feel more self-conscience than ever. I work with about 450 people, but it's actually easier for me to cope than when i worked for a company of about 150
