adderall

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 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 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.

990354 tn?1307132886 I just had a doc appointment today to increase my pristiq (my antidepressant) and was hoping to get on something else to help with my severe adhd. My friend takes adderall and I have taken that before which I found worked awesome for me at helping me focus and what not. However, I am having a hard time getting the doctors to understand my issues. I have been on nine hundred different anti-depressants and nothing really has helped which is why I often relapse back to the opiates.
Avatar n tn What are the side effects of taking both zoloft and adderall and smoking weed all together?
Avatar m tn I am no doctor or anything but I also was on adderall for years until my addiction with pain medication took control of my life my suboxone doctor told me that adderall and suboxone taken together are like using cocaine and herion similar anyway. My suboxone doctor refused to prescribe the adderall until I had tapperd off the suboxone.
Avatar m tn I'm taking 300mg of wellbutrin,it is not doing the job alone. My doctor said zoloft and wellbutrin are compatible I'm going to add per his advice 50mg of zoloft I really hope this will make some difference. Just like some feed back on this.
Avatar f tn I got the generic version of Aderral and surprised how cheap it was. Should this be taken every day or only when I have lots to do and need to concentrate? Thanks!!
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 n tn I'm hoping someone here can help, perhaps a Ph.D. or someone with knowledge/experience of medicines-- I have been diagnosed ADHD since I was a little kid (early grade school) and diagnosed with social anxiety at 17yrs old (towards the end of high school). I've been on and off multiple medicines for both (I've been on 5-10 different drugs; see my personal feedback below on some of the meds if you are interested in that information). I also very much think I have OCD.
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 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.
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 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 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 m tn I've been prescribed adderall for the past 4 years, I currently take 75mg per day. A couple months ago my Dr. started me on strattera in conjunction with my adderall. I have not noticed any improvement in my ability to concentrate or remain organized since starting the strattera, however my anxiety is gone and I am finally happy. A couple weeks ago my Dr. left and I was given a "temp" to take her place.
Avatar m tn After taking Wellbutrin 150mg 2x daily and my Zoloft 100mg together fro the first time I woke disoriented and dizzy Just was wondering if I should of started the wellbutrin one a day to get used to it.
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 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 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 f tn I prescribed60 mg of adderall but one week I had to take left over phentermine and 10mg adderall and my focusing was great and energy and I still do take 1/3 of phentermine a day.
Avatar m tn The first day, the Adderall made me a little more alert and even my symptoms were slightly reduced - although I did not put 2 and 2 together. The next day, the prescribed dosage did not help with fatigue and my symptoms came roaring back. Yesterday (Friday), in order to get some work done, I took 40mg in the morning and 40mg in the early afternoon. Not only did my fatigue go away, by my tremors/spasms and brain zaps were nearly gone.
Avatar m tn Benedryl doesnt make me sleepy but it helps my allergies. I take Ambien to sleep and benedryl so I dont sneeze. But I am "wired up" differently than most ppl. diphenhydramine is not only the same as Benedryl, its also the main ingredient in most over the counter sleep meds. So it is a bad idea for most ppl to combine them.
Avatar f tn Before, my regular routine was taking the zoloft first and my anxiety took over and always made me so nervous in the mornings I would have to take the clonazepam shortly after the zoloft. Is there something stronger than zoloft that may help my severe anxiety better? Thank you so much.
