Can people still tell you have anxiety/depression issues even on meds?!
Question: For example, I take Wellbutrin and Cymbalta every morning for my ADD/OCD and depression, but even though I've felt more balanced, I worry that women (who are SUPPOSED) to pick up on every little thing are going to say "Well, he's totally medicated."
Do people know if someone's on medicine or not for their nerves or is it just me?
Will I be labeled or is this all in my head?

We have to say the hell with what others say. Other people can only see what they can see from their perspective only. What they do or don't do, or what they say or don't say has nothing to do with you or me.
People won't know you're on meds until you tell them. I was at work the other day at lunch with a group of co workers. I confessed I was taking anti depressants. Everyone at the table began to talk about which anti depressant or anti anxiety meds they were on. I had no idea. I thought I was the only one. So I would have never known unless they told me.
Hmmm. People are perceptive about unusual behavior. Not just women. I have unusual behavior. I had the same problem that you have. I was worried people could pick up on my oddness. I'm not worried anymore about people picking up on my oddness. That's me! Love me if you love me. Hate me and you run the risk of having an odd behaving person mad at you. Just respect me. I'm just human like you.
One woman at work could tell when I took half a tranquilizer (prescribed) because she said my eyes didn't open all the way. No one else could tell.
Now I'm only taking anti-depressants and nobody can tell at all.
