I've been Abilified

Another med has been added to my already crazy line-up for my depression issues.  I'm now at 5 meds.
1 Vyvanse (long acting adderal)
2 Sertraline (Zoloft)
3 Lamotrigene (mood stabilzer)
4 regular Adderal (ADHD)
5 Abilify (antidepressant booster and works on bipolar) 

Abilify is the new one.  It boosts the effects of the antidepressant. It helps me not feel tired and keeps my grounded. The generic name is Aripiprazole and is primarily used for the treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.[9]
That's right.  It's also for schizophrenia.  Well that just explains everything.  

So far it's been a good experience.  I get things done. I get my workouts in.  I have extra energy.  

Here is the bad part.  Ever heard of The Flash?  The superhero who can run really fast? 
Well I think I'm THE FLASH. Everything I do now is in fast-forward. I talk faster.  I walk faster.  I eat faster and I think faster.  I think too fast.  I think so fast that before I can finish a thought, I've moved on to another.  It like I'm Profressor X and I can hear everything around me all at once. 
                                                

I'm taking some time off work and thank god I need it.  I want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction with all these meds.  I'm a drug rep so I know all the issues that can happen with these drugs.  

Maybe I will think so fast that I will turn back time and I can tell my younger self to "snap out of it fool!"
