Afraid of stimulants but there's no other way and nothing left

M35, For years im on trial and errors with antidepressants, just nothing.

I've never felt what does focus means, 24/7 scattered brain and tons of thoughts at the same time, can't finish anything or complete a task, extremely easy to be distracted and terribly non available memory.

which completely affected my life so bad, i can't learn or memorize anything, can't study, working in a terrible place because i couldn't find better due to my issues and im the only one at work that always distracted, never completed a task and the only one that always forgets and makes mistakes, even the simplest math i can't do.

Tried the first route, lab tests are fine, vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and amino acids but nothing worked.

Doctors just say its some kind of anxiety and stress.

Then finally went to psychiatrists, started with SSRI'S, SNRI'S and Tricyclic antidepressants and to be honest, they just killed my last cells of emotions and made me eat more, That made me hold still from 2019 till now and made me feel so depressed all the time and this loop cycle is still running til now.

Trials and errors with Fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, Venlafaxine, olanzipine, welbutrin, paroxetine, Cymbalta and Clomipramine.

Lastly im on 20mg Prozac and 150mg Clomipramine.

Doctors just says medications needs time and i hear that from 2019 to this moment.

Tried to research and to see what's going on and god knows how hard that was and found ADHD which i can relate to 100% of it (ADD) Thanks to the internet and reddit.

Went to psychiatrists again and what I've found that where i live ADHD is something like witchcraft and got terrified from doctors warnings from using stimulants.

But i don't know what to do to help myself, I'm a father of 2 kids and i don't want to complete my life like this.

Please advice, I've an appointment with my psychiatrist in the next week and don't know what to do

Sorry if this is the wrong sub for my problem.

M35, For years i was suffering from GAD, Agoraphobia, Depression, unavailable focus with scattered thoughts and can't learn or memorize anything.

In the beginning doctors prescribed fluvoxamine then paroxetine then Venlafaxine then olanzipine and now 20mg Prozac with 150mg Clomipramine at night.

These trials and errors with meditations and dosages took years from 2019 to finally settle on 20mg Prozac and 150mg Clomipramine but finally able to get a job.

But i couldn't focus, fatigued most of the time, can't learn or memorize anything, still depressed, self esteem destroyed, no confidence, stutter sometimes, even couldn't do the simplest math without calculator and terrible social skills..

Last 2 years i discovered reddit and start researching, tried tons of supplements and felt nothing, vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino acids just nothing worked out the blood work came fine on papers.

until by luck got a 500mg Citicoline from a local pharmacy and luckily felt something.

finally started to talk with customers, some motivation and energy, 2 weeks later got some Armodafinil 150mg and Quatrefolic folate and my brain switch turned on.

Talking alot with customers, extroverted, confidence through the roof, playing with my kids, calm and relaxed.

Yes i felt my heart a bit racing, some headaches,

Maybe my focus is still not there and didn't feel anything positive regarding memory and learning.

But this is like a miracle to me, specifically Armodafinil.

So i came here to ask for more help please,

Did doctors prescribed the wrong antidepressants for me all these years SSRI'S, SNRI'S and Tricyclics.

Nothing came even close to this last experience.

I've an appointment with the psychiatrist soon but i don't know what to say.

Sorry for my terrible English.

M35 father here, working as a sales and data entry and my brain feels like it's soo behind, i can't focus or concentrate, it's so hard for me to learn or memorize anything, i forget alot, stutter so bad with customers and after all of these my self esteem is literally unavailable all of these issues makes me feel so hopeless in front of the other employees.

it's like a block in my brain which i feel every time i try to think or learn as if there's something heavy on my eyes.

Tried blood work and it was all fine, my sleep is good 8 hours daily, i don't feel any depression to be honest.

My stack is pretty normal, 5k ius d3, k2, methylated b complex, Citicoline twice a week, magnesium citrate and malate through the day.

Tried coffee and energy drinks but both did not work surprisingly.

I just want to improve myself and be a better person but I don't know what to do to help myself

I made this post days ago about how was Armodafinil was so amazing for me :

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/s/MObrTLVcfE

So today tried the second dose Armodafinil 150mg tablet in the morning and went to work but this time nothing happened!!

No energy, so fatigued, no motivation or socializing like the first time.

I'm so confused, was that first time placebo?

Or Armodafinil build tolerance so fast like that?

Any explanation please?
