adderall

Avatar n tn ve had weekly checkups to monitor my dosage and my doctor and I have slowly worked up to 30 mg of adderall a day (20mg XR AM and 10 IR PM). Since that first week I've been feeling TIRED when taking my adderall and don't think it's working very well anymore.

Avatar n tn I'm on Adderall 10 mg tab (not XR) 2x daily for my ADHD but it seems really weak, especially in the morning. I'm also taking generic Zoloft at 75 mg a day in the morning with breakfast simultaneously with the Adderall. Also, I've been on Adderall before without Zoloft and it seemed to be more effective, though I was on a 15mg morning regimen.When I take the Adderall in the morning with I barely feel a difference, except a very minor dry mouth.
Avatar m tn Then, about 2 ½ years ago I had a near-psychotic meltdown, mostly about the devil and evil spirits, and was diagnosed with OCD and prescribed Anafranil and Zyprexa, which helped with the irrational thinking and obsessive thoughts a little. Between now and then, I have been diagnosed with OCD, Social anxiety disorder, GAD, major depressive disorder, ADHD, and most recently, aspergers/high functioning autism.
Avatar n tn s different for different people, and I read that for other people, Zoloft lost its effectiveness after 3 years, and others after 15 years! Anyway, I'm going to consult my psychiatrist to see if I need to up my dose or if I should consider a more consistent, stable, and long term oriented anti-depressant. Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn s only the adderall, or a combination of adderall and zoloft. I felt they added the adderall a little quickly after only being on zoloft a month. I am just praying this behavior was due to the medication and will go away.
Avatar n tn its crazy that you mention the things that you did because ive been wanting to take zolaft and everything you said about add seems so true because i have adhd and im suppoed to take adderall (but i havent been) and guitar lessons is a great idea, ive actually been trying to play the ukulele. It helps alot knowing that im not the only one. Thank you so much for the advice i really appreciate it, im going to get back on my adderall rite away.
Avatar n tn What are the side effects of taking both zoloft and adderall and smoking weed all together?
990354 tn?1307132886 I have been on both strattera and adderall. Adderall is very addicting to this (me) addict. The strattera didnt give the buzz adderall did. ALSO many people have reported adderall increased depression. I hope this helps. Congrats on getting off the opiates. YOUR AWESOME !!
Avatar n tn my heart races and Im becoming physically sick now. Im currently taking zoloft/abilify and adderall.. I dont know if I should generally be worried about this or its just my anxiety. Its starting to consume my days ..everyday.
1756970 tn?1314376733 hi ok i was put on concerta 36mg about 2 weeks ago and weened off of zoloft 200 mg and put on at the same time 10 now 20 mg of celexa. the first week i was feeling great!! was finally sleeping well, woke up energized and moods were stable. than this week i went down hill. i felt like i was on crack all day!! my brain was foggy, yet overstimulated. couldnt interpret what people were wanting from me. i heard them but just panic mode set in.
Avatar f tn 20 mg 2 times a day, and was also put on Zoloft. I was wondering what other medications would help with mood problems and anger issues? And what would be the fastest acting medication he could take? His anger issues are not to where he is abusive, just agitated, irritated, and it only takes something small to set it off ie..someone cutting him off in traffic. What advice can you give for us? He is already seeing a psychologist as well.
Avatar n tn I have been doing some research on adult-onset ADD/ADHD. I was never diagnosed as a child, though I have always had trouble concentrating. Over the past two years my memory problems have caused me to lose one job and continue to have trouble in others. I have weight problems because I eat for something to do. I cannot concentrate on ANYTHING. I constantly interrupt people when I speak to them.
Avatar f tn t just spouting off things, I just checked the drug interactions with Adderall and Paxil and Zoloft, and both were the same.
Avatar f tn I am on Zoloft for 3 weeks, and not feeling much improvement. My pdoc is adding Abilify at bedtime, and I am quite apprehensive about this combination. Can anyone shed any light on this or have any experience with it? I want to get well! Thank you, and may you all be well.
Avatar f tn If you're on Zoloft, of course you can't actually do anything M4 recommended, so disregard unless you decide to try this without medication. As to your actual question, when you are switched immediately from one med to another it's impossible to tell what symptoms are withdrawal from the old med and which are side effects of the new. This is why it's often a better idea to taper off the one first before starting the second, but it's too late for that now.
219373 tn?1274921434 she was taken off the adderall and has not been doing nearly as well. we tried zoloft and that made her manic and so now she is on paxil but it does not seem to be doing her any good. i have been trying to get the psychiatrist to agree to put her back on the adderall which seemed to work for her but he will not let her go back on it. even her behavioral therapist wants her to be on it but the doc still says no. is it possible that she also has ADD that is covered by the asperger symptoms??
Avatar f tn I have developed compulsions after taking Adderall, I obsessively pluck out my leg hair for hours on end and this only started after taking Adderall. It is a little known side effect of stimulant medications (much like people hooked on meth constantly pick at their skin until they make sores). There's lots of info on the internet about it, but you have to know where to look.
Avatar m tn 00pm. 70mgs of Adderall total a day.

Avatar f tn I am on an antidepressant and adhd medication (adderall). I have a h/x of depression and I don't think it is fully treated or I am at the age where it may be becoming more pronounced. I am in my late 20's and I want to have children but my obgyn always reminds me that I will have to come off of my meds when I start trying to conceive, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding. Due to the number of depressive episodes I have had I am going to be on meds for the rest of my life.
Avatar f tn I KNOW depression, as I have had it for the past year (of a year and a half on adderall.) I know mood swings, but this was just kind of out of nowhere. Is this normal to experience? If so, how long does it last? Any advice is sought and welcomed! Oh, also, I was taking 50mg of zoloft and I upped it to 100mg three days before detox, knowing that depression was possibly going to be a factor.
Avatar m tn I realize now I never look people in the eyes I never looked at their lips while they were moving and miss so many social cues because my head was always racing. Adderall has allowed me to discover this. However I am concerned because I am taking a benzodiazepine an opiate and an SSRI. Should I be? In your opinion.
Avatar m tn Concerta, 30mg Adderall IR, and 30mg Adderall XR. Concerta gave me migraines. Adderall XR completely sucked. Adderall IR was the best medication that I found until Vyvanse. Now I think Adderall is horrible in comparison. I've been taking 30mg of Vyvanse for a few months now. This has been my adjusted dose from trying 20mg, 30mg, and 50mg. 50mg was wayy too much at the time. 30mg was perfect until about a month ago. It lasted about 12 hours, a huge improvement over 4 hours of Adderall IR.
Avatar n tn Have you considered anti depressant meds instead? It may be helpful to talk to someone professional who can help you learn to cope with the anxiety also.

Avatar f tn The doctor took me off of zoloft + adderall due to pregnancy & put me on the wellbutrin... Zoloft was working great for me. Despite gaining 40+lbs over a one year span, i felt great! My depression & anxiety were completely resolved! But the dr was affraid of possible birth defects & said this was a better choice. I feel drained & the eye problem + vertigo type feelings...
Avatar f tn Why are the side affects of antidepressants sleepiness drowsiness and weight gain? So, I’m supposed to get better from sleeping all day and having no motivation with medication that has these side effects? It makes no sense! They should prescribe Adderall for people who are depressed...
Avatar n tn I cant stand myself and I have embarrased him continually in front of his friends by getting overly emotional and either yelling at him or crying. What can I do. I have been taking Prozac and Adderall, but I am thinking that its time for me to try Lexapro of Zoloft. Do you know if there is an issue with taking Lexapro and Adderall? I started taking Adderall because I was unable to concentrate at my work so I dont want to stop taking it.
