I was on 10mg mirt to counteract the adderall I was taking and after a year and a 1/2 I didn't have any emotions and decided to cold turkey quit it in October. Four months of absolute hell. I'm not an anxious person but the waves on anxiety were horrendous. Before the detox I could program for 12 hours and learn things all day.

Its been 5 months and I still struggle with more than 1/2 hour of reading and nothing is sticking. I can't program for more than 10 minutes without being mentally fatigued and having to stop. I'm super forgetful about everything and its causing issues with me losing things at work.

Anyone else deal with a similar situation and recovered? I'm worried I'm going to lose my job. My mental acuity has tanked I feel useless.

I refuse to take any medication now.

I think you need to seek advice from your doctor on this one in order to rule out other causes.
