Avatar f tn i am on adderall xr and zoloft 50mg and it is makin me very sick.i am starving every 2 hrs my moods have me very angry..i have diarea and nasea....i have just switched from celea and adderall to the zoloft...what can i take for depression with my adderall that wnt make me sick?
Avatar n tn I told my psychatrist about this and she told me that she does not know why it seems to work for a while then not be so effective, before taking celexa I was taking wellbutrin Sr 300 mgs, before that I was on lexapro 20 mgs one time a day, I had the same results with this drug as well, I was diagnosed with a mild form of depression. I am thinking maybe the adderall is to strong?
Avatar n tn I told my doctor the same thing, she said the tunnel vision, and jitters were normal, and would go away as your body gets used to the medication. However trouble eating and depression are more serious and might need to be taken care of. When I first started, I lost 15 pounds or more because of the effects of the medication, but regained my weight as we found a new medication. If tour doughter says she is depressed, watch her very closely untill you can find a doctor to talk about this.
Avatar f tn I recently had to switch my add meds from adderall xr to vyvanse and I am on day 2 and I feel like I havnt taken anything. I am extremely tired, have anxiety with everything going on around me at once, and I cant concentrate at all, I walked around my kitchen for 15 minutes not knowing why i wass but knew there was a reason then finally got my car keys that i was needing to get in the first place. Is this normal?
Avatar m tn I have also dealt with anxiety and depression my whole life and am on 50mg Pristiq as well. Basically Efexxor but has a different pharmacology. When I got sober and was about 45 days clean I went into a deep clinical depression. I've always had "depression" but this was the first time I had it like this. It was the stimulant and ADHD diagnosis that saved me from this. Best of luck to you!!! Stay strong.
880242 tn?1241283005 It has worked wonders for my ADHD but not the massibe drop that I got from my days when I took Ritalin (similar I hear to Adderall.) I have depression and the Wellbutrin has helped with that but it has greatly helped with my compulsive shopping.
Avatar m tn Because of this my psychiatrist put me on new meds. I am now on Lexapro, Latuda, Lorazepam, and Adderall XR. I am able to function, but not live. I work from my couch, very rarely leave the home, and feel like a complete zombie. I have urges to take more Adderall throughout the day as I feel that is the only medicine that helps me actually "live". My new doctor changed my antidepressant from Lexapro to Pristiq about a month ago to solve this problem.
Avatar f tn My doc gave me Ritalin for ADD and Effexor for depression but this last one gave me too many side effects and I stopped taking it. Now he switched me to Wellbutrin (150 mg once a day) and 30 mg Ritalin. I have felt sick but am not sure if it is the withdrawal effects from stopping Effexor or the mixture of Wellbutrin and Ritalin. I feel brain spasms, especially in the back of my head. Today I did not take the Ritalin and felt no spasms.
Avatar n tn It should be noted here that I have a hx. of anxiety problems and depression. I have been on 75 mg. effexor for sometime now, and Ativan PRN for anxiety. I also have mild mitral valve prolapse which was dx. prob. 25 years ago, not taking anything for that but go yearly for echo, and have occasional stress tests. For the ADHD I have been prescribed Adderall XR 15 mg. once daily thus far.
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.
5717054 tn?1372958545 are these severe side effects should i keep taking it or stop i suffer from minor vertigo before adderall and my pulse and bp is alway up and down but no doctor shows concern and rigjt now i can teach any my docs. Does it sound safe to continue? the positive of adderall beside physical probs i feel calm my thoughts stopped racing but i get alil out my mind from being groggy and again since i cant walk cause the sever vertigo i have truble drinking fluids. by morning im 100% fine.
Avatar f tn I'm on prescription Adderall XR and the company I work for adheres to strict drug screening process. I need to determine if I should notify my employer of the prescription. Will my adderall XR show on a drug test if I am called to take one?
Avatar f tn I have a real sensitive stomach and immune system, and am allergic to a lot so I would think that you can handle most of these. The best working were the Daytrana, Adderall XR, and Vyvanse, and the Adderall you are taking may be different than what I take(XR) The other Adderall hurt my stomach and made me sick if I didn't eat, but I have no problem with the XR.
Avatar f tn adderall and concerta both have seizures as a side effect along with other bad side effects,and so do all other medicines. you can to see if it is worth the risk. Have you tried taken vitamins like omega 3 and vitamins b6. most drugs ware off. best of luck to you.
Avatar m tn yes psychiatrist do use adderall of label for depression, i used it and it was great, i was prescribed the same amount as you. i used it as an add on treatment i was on an antidepressant it helped but not enough when the adderall was added on i felt so much better.
Avatar f tn what would the side effects be if a person took 40, 30mg adderall xr. how long do the side effects last?
Avatar m tn I've been taking Adderall XR 20mg for nearly 2 year and have noticed that if I haven't masturbated in 2-3 days, ejaculate will appear either prior to, or after I urinate. I have checked side effects of Adderall XR on the manufacturer's website and have not found any information to this.
Avatar n tn Ok here goes. I have been abusing adderall xr with high doses for a while and need to quit cold turkey. I can't go to anyone for help in fear of losing my great job and family. I take seizure medication and want to know if withdrawal will cause a seizure? HELP ME PLEASE!
Avatar n tn he was warm and laughed alot although still had hard time getting going but just seemed happier and healthier. The doctor wanted to keep him on adderall XR at a higher dose , 30 ml. and a short acting adderall at noon also 30mg. Since back on adderall ...very motivated at times but moody , not sleeping , and so many mood swings and side effects. It makes him very tired at times and lay in bed all day. Could some of what he is dealing with be a side effects from coming off the prozac?
Avatar f tn just like me , I take 3 .5 mgs of xanax and I take 20 mgs of adderall xr plus 2 10 mgs of adderall irs a day I have anxiety , insomnia and adhd add combo ( plus panic disorder and agorphobia) I recently hoped on the hole xanax and adderall thing , no complaints is it bad?
Avatar m tn I was a healthy energetic 30yo before I started taking adderall. I discontinued taking it and I did start back on it and it didn't help with my pain, but actually gave me severe headaches and mild seizures. I'm glad it's helping you though. At least you're getting relief from your symptoms someway.
1746489 tn?1311515586 anyways i then stop the medication, which i had no problem stopping at all since i slowly went from two 20 mg of adderall a day for each 8 hours class in the morning and night. To one pill and day, to one pill every other day, till nothing at all. SO don't think it's like taking (CRACK COCAINE) and almost impossible to stop.
Avatar m tn A company cannot make you take medication. If you had lied and said that you did not take medication and the Adderall showed up in the test, then that would definitely be grounds for not hiring. Hope this helps. Happy New Year.
4757133 tn?1358797625 I'm 27 male. I take 2, 30mg adderall one when I wake up at 6:40 am also I take a 10mg adderall tablet. I take the second 30mg XR anywhere between 10:30-2 o'clock during the day day. I also take Effexor 150mg XR in the morning. And 100mg Effexor tablet (generic) in the afternoon. I also take a 150mg of wellbutrin at about 10am. Now I'm taking a 50mg dose of tramadol for dental problems. And occaisenly a m357 vicodin. Also a bunch of b vitamins and c vitamins. I also drink a lot.
Avatar n tn Now I would definitely agree with these other advisors due only to the sort of out of control behavior your daughter is exhibiting while taking Adderall. I have been on Adderall XR 20 for 10 years and it has no more effect on me than a strong cup of coffee (of course, since I am sensitive to coffee this has a stronger effect on me than on others) and makes it possible for me to get out of bed, get out of the house, and get things done. But then I am a severely depressed bipolar 2.
