Avatar m tn However, I got a blood test done 4 days after my last injection and my testosterone was 323 which is super low especially for me. Being a huge hypochondriac, which the adderall has helped with, I started looking online, which I know is a big no no. I read several cases where aderall can raise your prolactin level, which in turn lowers your testosterone. My level before I started taking aderall was fine. I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me.
Avatar n tn If you respond well to Celexa then you might respond even better to Lexapro. Lexapro is a the next generation of Celexa. You can research it to better understand hard to explain in chemistry terms. The side effects of Lexapro tend to be less severe than Celexa also. The above answer that was left by Paxiled is all correct as well.
Avatar f tn Its been about 2 years now since i stopped taking lexapro and i have been much better since. I would talk to your doctor about other forms of treatment and explain what your actual side effects are.
Avatar n tn Lately, in order to get any sleep and function at all during the day I have been drinking alcohol and smoking weed late into the night...I already take Lexapro for social anxiety and I think by this point, Im mainly using Adderall to feel comfortable in social situations I cant deal with, and to keep from gaining weight. I know this is NOT the way to deal with these problems, just a quick fix that Im going to have to deal with at some point.
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar m tn ve read somewhere that amphetamines mixed with some of these antidepressants can cause unwanted side-effects. Can a professional elaborate? If I stop taking my Adderall I will stop functioning completely, but if I don't does this mean I can never be put on an antidepressant that might make me happy again? I need help.
Avatar f tn t helping as much as it used to, I saw a psychiatrist who advised that I continue the Effexor (same dosage) and add Lexapro 1xday 10mg. He also prescribed Ambien for insomnia and Ativan for panic attacks. I feel better as far as anxiety goes but symptoms of depression are very much still there. I have no energy at all. No motivation. If it were up to me, I would stay in bed all day. Would a stimulant be helpful in my situation?
660007 tn?1234065741 Also, because of my back pain, i occasionally take muscle relaxers and things like that. Part of my goal is to see how these medicines can effect my mood. Is there a way to manually input these medications?
1287128 tn?1331134538 Hi, I can understand your fears. I just went through a bout with atrial flutter which included a cardio conversion and a catheter ablation. So I get the heart worries. I am not sure if your doctor is a cardiologist as they would probably have the best answer to your question. My thoughts are that stim meds affect people with ADHD differently than people who do not have ADHD. Many times it actually will calm them down.
Avatar n tn I have been on Adderall for years for ADD. I rarely get colds and if I ever start, I immediately start Airborne and Zycam vitamin therapy. It works amazingly well at thwarting off the worst of a cold! However, this time I thought I beat it but a few days after feeling I did... my sinuses are very congested and I am coughing that harsh bronchial cough! I asked a pharmacist about my symptoms and they suggested sudaphed. Can I take that as an Adderall patient?
Avatar f tn I AM TRYING TO GET OFF OF LEXAPRO. I HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR YEARS. I TAKE AMBIEN, LEXAPRO AND ADDERALL, I'M TIRED OF BECOMING DEPENDANT ON THESE MEDICATIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO TRY A MORE NATURAL APPROACH TO MEDS. I ALSO HAD THE FLU 1 1/2 WEEKS AGO, SINCE THEN I HAVENT TAKEN ANY MEDS AND FELLING PRETTY GOOD. I DO GET THE WEIRD FEELINGS AND THE SHOCK LIKE WAVES GOING THROUGH MY BODY. I KNOW THIS HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF REACTION TO GETTING OFF.
Avatar n tn A friend of mine that I've known for 15 years now has been acting a little strange lately. On Tuesday 5/20 she called me late & told me she was on her way to my house b/c she was leaving her husband of 8 years. She said she needed a place to stay til Friday. She did not tell her sister parents what she was doing. Her husband told them on Thurs. 5/22. The next day, Friday, her family tried to sit her down & talk to her about what she was doing. She punched her sister in the face.
1182411 tn?1265321044 I find that I am encountering some similar difficulties with the dexedrine that I take for my ADHD. I am a pharmacist as well by the way, so maybe I can I can help you out with some relevant advice. The first point I'd make is that no doctor or pharmacist will disagree with the fact that a particular dose of a certain drug that is adequate and effective for ONE person will NOT NECESSARILY be adequate and effective for another.
Avatar n tn I ended up here on this site today because I had decided not to take my Adderall today, so that I could just lay in bed and have a day of rest. Well, it didn't work. I've discovered that NOT taking Adderall, has brought on Akathisia. So I got up, took the Adderall and am feeling relief. It doesn't make sense, being so sensitive to medications, but the point is, we just need to pay attention to what our bodies are telling us. We need to evaluate what works and be aware of triggers.
351317 tn?1204751871 Well I am taking Lexapro now which is based on Celexa I believe. I still find myself reaching for words and not being able to slow down my thoughts to get them out of my mouth half the time.
Avatar n tn I can tell you one thing - my psychologist told me that depression and anxiety and lack of sleep can, themselves, SEVERELY affect memory. I also take Ambien to help with sleeping and one of its potential side effects is also memory issues.
Avatar f tn Can I take 40mg or over if Lexapro? Was on 40mg. One Dr put me back to 30mg but not working so started on Zoloft 75mg. Now weight can and I’m an emotional wreck. What. Anni do?
1951506 tn?1324588561 i have had depression for about 8 years now, i was on lexapro for a long time and it helped my depression for the most part but i think it wore off because it just didnt work anymore, i was put on wellbutrin a month ago, and since being on it i have felt so angry and irritable i literally lay in bed and cry or just be mad i want nothing to do with anyone and its just not a good thing so obviously i need to come off this, any ideas if this is something that is normal or maybe its just me coming o
Avatar f tn I stopped taking it the entire time I was on the Lexapro, and then when I got off of it I thought I was okay, I started taking it for about two weeks, realized that the crashes were making me freak out really bad, so I decided I needed to deffinitly not take that for a while until I can get my head on straight . If that ever happens. I am completely miserable and sick of feeling this way!!! I just want to believe I don't have multiple scleroris and heal from this entire thing!
Avatar f tn I remember being a puffy mute on lexapro and zyprexa. Not only was my usual 130 pound jewish frame elevated to 170 within months I felt suicidal for the first time in my life. I found a combo of wellbutrin/zoloft that seems to serve me well. After hearing my complaints of fatigue he added adderall. It does help but it's but you can develop tolerance fairly quickly and it's drawing on your body's essential vitality (chi) to do this.
Avatar f tn I want to stop taking adderall. When I first started it 2 years ago it really helped me in school, and today some 2 years later I have taken 4 20 mg tablets through out today. Im scared to get help because im in school for surgical technology and I don't want to be denied employment for/ in a hospital. I have no insurance and im a single mom. Like most people lliving in the us today I am having major finacial problems.
Avatar f tn I am a 27 year old female. When I was 22, I took the drugs adderall, lexapro and ephedrine/phentermine (diet pills-occasionally). One night, my heart rate shot up and would not come back down, don’t matter what I tried. I went to the emergency room and they said it was the drugs I was taking. When I was 23, I began having syncope episodes and got a pacemaker. Looking back, I believe the syncope episodes were caused by the adderall and lexapro. However, I have had chest pains ever since.
Avatar f tn Oh btw I took lexapro and stopped when I got pregnant with my 2nd. I found tons of ways of managing without meds. Worked so well Ive never had to take it again!
Avatar n tn It was so bad that even after 4 months a had to take 3 10mg ambien to fall asleep (they were prescribed). I was put on 10 and then 20mg of lexapro and I after 6 weeks or so I can tell its working by the lack in libido and decreased racing anxiety but the depression and overall "dead brain" feeling is inescapable. Are there better SSRI's that help target people recovering from opiates/adderall abuse? I know there is Wellbutrin, Effexfor, Paxil, Zololoft, etc.
