The change ison the interest on numbers, dates, license plates, and things like that. I also have more ability to carry on a conversation and meeting new people, behaviors and social interactions. I can notice the different when I don't take this medication. It is so much harder to think and intereact with others. It is so much more frustrating for me without. I can't stand the way I think without this medication. It is that helpful. It is also something I can understand others better and how people think and talk about me that makes me depressed.

The drugs that I wanted to look at why they worked either was because from the internet was from limits the dopamine or increases the norepinephrine that abilify, Strattera, guanfacine, and klonapan. So, it explains something to do with these two issues in my brain I need help with.
