ritalin

Avatar f tn hi since march 3 i have been on prozac and xanax i have depression and anxiety...im a bit bettter but my dr said prozac is very stimulating and im not finding that im still depressed and dragging around....are others on prozac and xanxax with luck.....dr is thinking of adding a amphetimine when i next go back to see him...im thinking like ritalin or something....its been almost a month shouldnt i feel better...does xanax make the prozac not help with depression or something?
Avatar f tn I would contact your doctor right away to see what he has to say. Anytime something new arises you need to let him know. He will know if it is anxiety or your medication combo. Take care.
Avatar f tn i read some good reviews on people using ritalin for depression...and i have the xanax to curb my anxiety....i just dont know if i can up my proxac to 60 mg how llong would i notice before upping the prozc if its gonna help and should i be worried about being allergic to ritalin....its made differnet than the adderall...
Avatar n tn well, went down to about 1mg of xanax.... which i am completely out of..... but valium doesn't seem to be working for me.... after i stopped taking xanax... i was taking a pretty high dosage of valium... averaging... 10mg-30mg / night..... i realli need to sleep... so i started with 10mg valium then another 10mg, another... i think 35mg in total.... still can't sleep... i know this sounds very stupid of me.... and yes.. i think i have a serious addiction problem....and now i am still up.
Avatar f tn i got a new dr and he canged me from adderall to methylin generic ritalin....do they have kinda same ingrediaents..it to be used for depresssion but he said i have some add symptoms also on on xanax and prozac,,he is upping my prozac...
Avatar f tn why would my dr put me on it knowing the xanax would affect it when he prescibed the xanax and prozac/...and i drank 6 non alkie beers the other night and felt like i got a buzz that is odd i have drank the stuff for 2 1/2 years with no effect..pharmmist said it might be that im on higher dose of xanx then i was the ativan.......or it was in my head a botttle has less thn 0.5 percent alchol by volume......
Avatar f tn t moving and I can tell he is sleeping. He does get up and down from be; restroom, smoking, and to eat, but not much of anything else but watching tv when he is awake. I am at my last end over what is going on. Can anyone help me? He was taking other medication and I was able to get him to give them up because they didn't seem to be helping anyway. The patch doesn't seem to help either in my opinion. sometimes he will take advil or other back pain meds too.

Avatar f tn but he said thats only if you r prone to seizures...so i went to drug checker and put in all my meds ritalin,xanax and wellbutrin....it says the combo of wellbutrin and ritalin really increases the chance of seizures and so does the xanx..so im scared to take it now,dr also said i could drink a couple beers and i think that increases seizures to.............I have never had a seizure so maybe im worried for nothing ..anyone been on this combo?

Avatar n tn Been using focalin for adhd for 3 years. Previously uses ritalin, concerta, ritalin LA. Taking 10mg twice daily. Recnently been feeling very stressed and anxiety out over nothing. I get irritated easily. Looked into my diet and blood work, etc. They are all ok. Life is ok, otherwise. The doctor said stims can cause this and gave also tenex to take the edge off. Helps a little, but its not right. Is this common for anyone else?
Avatar f tn If you are suffering from anxiety and need to control it with Xanax, you certainly do not want to use any form of speed, which is what most ADD medications are. You would wind up in a straitjacket. You are very wise to use Xanax only on an as-needed basis. It is extremely addicting. And here is something you might try. When I was suffering the effects of adrenal fatigue, I was told to use Xanax on an as-needed basis, which I did, and it helped enormously. I was given .
Avatar f tn Looked at their ingredients, read posts comparing the two, and came away thinking that basically they are the same. If anything ritalin might be slightly safer. Remember these medications have been used by millions and millions of people so their track record and how they act is well known. It's just they everybody reacts a bit differently and has different needs. It actually sounds like it is working for you.
Avatar f tn prozac has zapped my sex drive me and hubby havebt had sex bit once since the prozac so dr mentioned he might add wellbutrin later...he also switched me from adderall to ritalin and im on xanx for anxiety.both of these drs told me 2 light beers is ok ..i was reading up on wellbutrin and it says it can cause seizures and alchol could add to the seizure effect...i ask my pharmist and he said thats very rare..

908382 tn?1243372602 I have been on 16mg day (now down to about 12mg) of suboxone for about 2years along with 1mg of clonazepam (generic klonopin) and 10mg 3xday of ritalin for adhd and anxiety issues. THE PROBLEM is I am trying to now be completely clean... because in NA i don't feel like I am fully and purely CLEAN! Suboxone is a godsend but i feel after two years i should try to work the NA program without a crutch.

With no past mental illness history & age ~40...
Avatar f tn So inconclusion when I had myy thyroid I felt awfull but levels were never off, was given ritalin for ADD and I felt better. Now I have no Thyroid and Ritalin is having too much effect. Hence makes me think Thyroid all along except that dsont explain all my symptons as a child. Just curios as to if any one had any thoughts to this situation. Oh ya now 4 days post rai and 2 days taking levox...
Avatar f tn I do have xanax and my son is on ritalin with clonidine to sleep. I was not a heavy user, just 2 pills a day. ANy suggestions.
Avatar m tn however i am thinking about getting ritalin prescribed . i have a very good job where i am routinely drug tested via Urine and Hair. will ritalin casue a fasle positive drug test? half the internet sites say no the other half say yes.
Avatar n tn It is one of the side effects of Ritalin perhaps you should ask your Doctor for a new evaluation of the Med, if you ever decide to let him be on Natural Remedies, it has been shown in studies that food supplements have the same efficacy as Ritalin and a Muliple Vitamin-mineral with B Complex and Vit C also Fish oil, would be good, a lot of Parents are trying this now and their children and not getting the bad side effects that Ritalin and the other meds have.
Avatar f tn why do I get addicted to every mood altering drug there is? Had trouble with xanax valium nuvigil phentermine ritalin. I keep doing it.
Avatar m tn I did go seek help and got Suboxone and was on them for 2 months and got better and here and there I got Oxys and Roxy and Xanax and all the other drugs prescribed by my doc not from the street. Anyway I hit the ground zero lost my husband my daughter and my job due to prescription drugs and was in pain and was thinking about killing myself. One day I decided to just pack up and leave go visit my family in Germany for couple months.
Avatar m tn I am on wonderful medication that is really helping me. I am on 50mg Ritalin and 75mg Effexor. However any new drug I get given knocks me and when I sometimes take my last dose of Ritalin my eyes start vibrating,all my muscles go tight and my eyes vibrate. This seems so unfair. Does this mean my body will eventually reject all meds. Please tell me this is not so. I am so happy on my medication.
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.
2083581 tn?1332307861 I currently use Ritalin for ADD and it also helps depression. Does anyone have suggestions for supplementing this with another drug. I have heard wellbutrin works well with Ritalin but I would like to here from someone with experience. Ritalin is the only drug that has ever helped me but when it wears off I am depressed again. (and I have tried Concerta and did like it) Any suggestions?
351317 tn?1204751871 I have noticed when I drink coffee or soda with caffeine it often triggers a gag reflex that is pretty uncomfortable. I first noticed this when I around 7 or 8 and prescribed ritalin which had this side effect. Is this a stomach problem or maybe an anxiety problem.
Avatar m tn I am a 30 year old who started taking ritalin and concerta (36mg - 72mg) on a regular basis for about 6 months about a year and a half ago. As a consequence I experienced erectile dysfunction. I stopped taking the meds and I still have erectile dysfunction. I have been off the meds for over a year now and I have not recovered my erectile function. I can only get a semi if I try really hard. I don't get morning boners any more and I don't get proper hard ons when watching porn either.
