Yes it is.

Antipsychotics are commonly prescribed for schizophrenic like symptoms. But of course there's disagreement to how serious the symptoms need to be to make a prescription necessary. You have the right to ask your psychiatrist what they think, or get another psychologist's opinion.

Wow,I'd be scared to,What is your IQ?Is it High?

I can understand being offered help for disorganized thinking, short attention spans and confusion. but making "odd connections"? that can be the height of creativity (if there really turns out to be something to the connections). I'd be hesitant, but medications here aren't unheard-of, and could actually help. just proceed slowly if unsure.

Your psychologist is not licensed to prescribe drugs--that's why he/she wants to talk to your psychiatrist, because he/she does, and this is a very common practice.

This is a serious issue and I doubt anybody here has answers for you. All they can do is tell you from their own personal experiences or what they read on the inteternet. So I am not going to say anything either way. What I will say is that if indeed you are having these issues before you go on medication that will mask them and maybe cause side effects find out why you have these issues. It's the why that doctors never seem to want to find out. They would rather treat the symptoms then cure the disease. Now these issues can simply be a lack of discipline on your way of thinking and you have to train yourself to think in a more organized logical way. Or you could have some type of hormonal or chemical imbalance. Find out which one and then go from there. To just start taking medication is typical of what's wrong with our system in the USA. For example I was in the Army. I noticed a lot of young people did not have an understanding of how to do simple things. But these simple things required very logical straight ahead thinking. In the Army there is no room for confusion and emotion. It's a serious job that requires you to train yourself to think fast and in an unemotional way to solve problems and issues quickly, especially if you are in combat. So you might just have a lackadaisical way about your thought process from being overly sheltered and not having had to be in serious situations. As I do not know your personal life and how you grew up it's you who have to ask yourself do I rely on medications and people trying to fix you. Or do you say I have an issue/problem and it's ME who has to fix ME. Once you gave it your all to fix yourself through learning mental discipline and learning how to focus better you still have a problem then if I were you I would find out if indeed there was a hormonal or chemical imbalance causing it. That's just my opinion.

It is common practice for a psychologist to work with your psychiatrist to say "This is what I see going on, would "X" medication help?" and they psychiatrist may or may not agree with the assessment. Psychologists cannot prescribe drugs,but some do know a lot about them. Meet with the psychiatrist and see what he/she thinks. Just because you meet with him/her to discuss certain meds doesn't mean that you have to accept them if you think it is too scary or that you don't really need them. I'm not a pscychologist or pscychiatrist, but from my experience many of the symptoms that you listed are common symptoms of ADHD inattentive. Anti-depressants such as Wellbutrin and the non-stimulant drug Strattera have been found to help adults with ADHD, and maybe that is what your psychologist is thinking.

I wouldn't be scared,if the medication doesn't do what they say it'll do what's the harm of getting the help in the first place,you have nothing to lose besides the chaos you are living in right now. Changes in our behavior are sometimes frightening,we are used to the way we are. I guess I would have to say this,how much do you want to feel better?Is the confusion and scattered thinking a problem for you,enough that you want it to change? Always look at the side effects of the new medications as most don't happen,but some do for some people,not all people will have a negative response to certain meds,I know alot about different medications as I have been on many different ones over the last 15 years or so. I say get the medication and allow it to become therapeutic(normally around 2-3 weeks)continue with the psychologist and med doc. Keep us posted on your progress and allow the chaos to leave your thinking.

If you are only experiencing "low level symptoms" I would say talk therapy is more useful than drugs. Your psychologist is in no way qualified to make the assertion that you should be medicated for any condition you are experiencing. Only your psychiatrist can decide that course of action. If you have regular contact with both and your psychiatrist is fully qualified, they are more than able to advise you on the appropriate course of action without the assistance of your psychologist. I would personally advise drugs only if you have a chemical imbalance, as this can only be cured via drug therapy. Make sure you aren't been "trigger happy" with drug therapy. Drugs are over prescribed these days. At the end of the day it is about what is right for you, get the appropriate information and make an informed descision.
