Need advice before starting Inspiral 5mg dosages prescribed by neuro psychiatrist
I have been struggling with focus during work. Whenever I encounter a difficult problem, I lose motivation very quickly and get a strong urge to leave my chair. Because of this, I am unable to stay engaged with my work. Tasks that should take around 2 hours often end up taking an entire day to complete.
I consulted a psychiatrist, and he prescribed Inspiral 5 mg and Zonalta 8 mg.
During the first visit, the doctor asked me to take the medication at the clinic and stay there for about an hour so he could observe whether it improved my focus. Unfortunately, I was short on time and couldn’t stay, so we never tested its immediate effect.
Later, he instructed me to take half a tablet in the morning and half in the evening, then return for a follow-up and report whether my concentration and focus had improved.
What I don’t understand is this: if Inspiral is an addictive medication and only provides temporary symptom relief rather than treating the underlying cause, why should I take it?
My main question is: Should I take Inspiral as prescribed (half a tablet twice daily), or avoid it because it only provides temporary relief instead of addressing the root cause?
