Adderall with prozac
Common Questions and Answers about Adderall with prozac
adderall
s safe with your medications. Lots of people are on Prozac and Adderall because Prozac tend to make you lethargic.
I mean I think we can consider a beer or 2 at night as a medication in your case but if you were alcoholic in the past I guess it could be easy to relapse. Anyway if you feel safe and capable of drinking only small amount of alcohol it is up to you but be aware that high quantity of alcohol with your medications is not safe at all.
That website was fascinating. I should have read it when you referenced it in earlier threads. I watched the videos. When the doctor was talking about the 2D6 pipeline he said that some people have narrower pipelines than others. I guess mine might just be on the wider side. I was also on a very low dose of Prozac and only 20mg Adderall a day back then. I suspect my psychiatrist must have known how Prozac and Adderall interact.
I have been on Prozac20 mg for almost 9yrs, Wellbutrin 300 mg bid for about 5 yrs , and Aderrall 30mg SR for 2 yrs. For the last 4yrs i have experienced significant memory loss, word finding difficult, decreased concentration, night sweats and still feel depressed. The Aderall no longer works. I think the Prozac is causing the memory problems and brain fog. My providers says it's not the Prozac. I'm thinking of weaning myself off the prozac first and then the Adderall.
got a new dr in may cause old one retired he had me try to up prozac and trouble with that so his asso. had me totally stop the prozac and go on wellbutrin sr 150am and pm,,,,after a week i was having prozac withdrawals so back on prozac i went and still on wellbutrin to be honest i dont know if my depression is something else cause neither brought me up or were stimulating..my new dt thinks i have slight add..anywayas i have been tapering off the prozac 10 mg a week per dr...
Yes, you can stop the adderall. The others you can not stop, but must be slowly taken off them.
HOWEVER, I think you reason for your problems is the prozac.
I quote: "We will cover more details later, but for now just remember this: Prozac and Paxil both significantly block the pathway for the metabolism of Adderall and all the amphetamine products. [Wellbutrin and Cymbalta can block 2D6 at their higher doses.
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? How do you know what is what? Since back on adderall he's a rollercoaster of side effects.
OK..what is my point.....I would like him to go off all the meds for a while to see....(mothers intuition).he can always go back on or try something else....but how will he ever know how he'll you'll do if he never goes off the drugs.
Maybe I'm getting Adderall and Ritalin confused then. Could have sworn I lost all motivation for life on Adderall and became even more hyper on Ritalin. Did I mention I'm dyslexic? But no Sandman is right.
Been on prozac since March dr messed with dose till finally by late June i went to 50 mg...im also on wellbutrin,well weight gain and other problems dr said to cut back on prozac 10 mg a week,been doing that im down to 30 mg but i have bad depression like when i first began prozac,i was added a estrogen patch this past friday,i have no energy and im tired all the time..
I have a love/hate realationship with the Adderall. Although I am prescribed 20 mg Adderall XR 3 times a day, I never take all 3 pills a day. Right now I am down to 1 pill a day. I love the fact that the Adderall gives me energy but I hate that after a few days of taking it I feel physically exhausted. I have tried to give up the Adderall but I always go back to it because taking the Celexa alone doesn't work.
i got some 20 mg prozac and i took one last night to equal 30 g yesterday.....
A lot of people do not have success with Welbutrin but most people have positive results with Prozac. There are so many good antidpressants available and sometimes it takes time to find the correct combination for you. I understand your urgency with vacation coming up. I would really consider contacting my doctor and follow his advise.
My dr added adderal to my prozac and xanx he says i have refractory depression or something like that,i felt better yesterday after taking the adderall...but i hear im at higher risk for serotoyin syndrome....any others on these meds..
hi all im on xanax prozac and adderall,my dr onn may 4th told me i could drink 2 beers a night with my meds..he is a pshychitrist,my heart dr agreed and so did several pharmmists..they said it might just make me sleepier....i notice the next day my heart rate is lower and so is my blood pressure..i drank for 8 years on xanax and depakote and alot and was fine..i enjoy the taste of beer dont want to get drunk...but i felt kinda tipsy last night for some reason...
hi i have been on prozac and xanax since march 3 2010.my dr added adderall for refractory depression a little over a week ago,,,,i can tell not much difference....and im still having the slow unsteady walk from before the addderall...does anyone know how long it will take the adderall to help my depression,,,he is usinfg it off label....
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.
adderall is just like speed ,so it make your heart beat fast.some people have had heart problems after being on adderall and some have had strokes and there have also been case where some have died a sudden death. there is also seizures as a side effect from these drugs.
don't know what your doctor was thinking when he gave you the adderall and I would stay away from those drugs.
try getting something that deals with stress and anxiety.
Hi I posted on here before and got great answers so I'm back again. I've had ADHD since 14 but only took meds for a few year before I decided to try things on my own. Now at 26 I'm working full time, going school and being a single parent. Needing help to focus and with depression I went to see a pyschologist( I have medi-cal so theres only one available) He put me on 10mg Adderall three times a day ( he said 4 but I made the decision to only do three).
okay so I've had a lot going on in my life and my depression started getting worse so I started seeing a psychiatrist and I have only been on Prozac for almost a month. I hear bad and good things about it.
i have anxiety,depression,some add and hyperchrodic..was switched from adderall to ritain started ritalin yesterday.i love my new dr he is an olser guy...said i could still have my couple beers with my meds....how long does ritalin take to work im on 10 mg but could take another 10 in the afternoon i was on 30 mg adderall i heard ritalin is stronger..im scared i will be allegic to ritalin as im afraid i will allergic to all new meds..
My next step was to research treatments that involved taking Adderall and Prozac together. Did I find any? No. What I did find were suggestions and recommendations AGAINST taking these two medications together because together they increase the risk of Serotonin Syndrome. I looked at the symptoms for Serotonin Syndrome and I know I've experienced 4 of the three symptoms since starting my new treatment.
I've entered periods of agitation and restlessness several times.
