Common Questions and Answers about Ativan with adderall

Avatar n tn The question is can you live with the extra anxiety if the adderall is really helping you? The problem with taking an upper (adderall) and a downer (ativan) together is that they will counter act against each other and neither one will be as effective in your system. You said that you were just diagnosed? Is this your first add medication? You may want to consider trying a different one if the adderall continues to give you problems.

Avatar n tn Adderall and benzodiazepines are very tricky drugs to deal with.
Avatar n tn I am a 58 yr. old who was recently dx. with ADHD. 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 f tn I am Type 1, rapid cycling, bipolar. I currently am taking Symbyax, Lamictal, and Adderall. I take ativan as needed, but I find it doesn't do much for me and I often have crying bouts after use. I was thinking of augmenting with an edible here and there as needed instead of the Ativan, butI can't find any good information pertaining to potential drug interactions. I rarely get hypomanic, more often a mixed state, and I never get manic. Can anyone help me out?
Avatar f tn Benzos like xanax can lose their effectiveness over time. Usually, short acting benzos like xanax are prescirbed short term on an as needed basis because of the short half life associated with them. Why did you stop cold turkey? That can put you through a bad experience and can be down right dangerous.
Avatar f tn 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....
Avatar f tn I have tried klonopin, ativan, ambien cr, tonight for instance i took 1 ambien 4 1/2 mg of ativan and 1 1/2 mg of klonopin and i am wide awake. Not quit sure the difference between adderall and benzo's. I used to be on ridilin and now am on dexedrin which are both uppers but have sleep side affects that are supposed to make you sleepy . I am at my whits end. sorry not really much of an advice more than a comment and trying to learn what other people are trying.
Avatar n tn I also take adderall for ADD, and I know it can make things worse, but I had these symptoms way before I started the Adderall. Is there another med. I can take with Adderall for anxiety that will help these symptoms from coming on at all. Also is it normal for symptoms to last this long.
Avatar m tn you are on Ativan (lorazapam) and that kind of stuff always leaves me with a sluggish hangover so i never take it...it makes me feel more edgy the next day and groggy...
Avatar f tn I AM HAVING PERIODS OF DIARRHEA, AND CONSTIPATION. STOOLS BEING REALLY BLACK OR REALLY YELLOW DAILY.MEDS INCLUDE ATIVAN AND ADDERALL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE.... FATIQUE, GERD,, RIGHT SHOULDER PAIN. THE RIGHT SIDE PAIN RADIATING TO RIGHT LOWER BACK. THIS IS CONSTANT AND I HAVE NAUSEA DAILY. WORST SCENARIO SINCE THIS STARTED .....AFTER, JUST A COUPLE GLASSES OF WINE I STARTED VOMITING AND YELLOW LOOSE STOOLS WITH THE VOMITUS EVENTUALLY TURNING YELLOW. IT TOOK TWO DAYS WITHOUT EATING TO RECOVER AT HOME.
Avatar f tn I don't know if I can ever get my **** together. It has been six years of nothing but addiction and chaos now. I once went to college and earned a B.A. I once was a writer at a paper, I once worked at a TV news station, I had a license, my own apartment, you name it. I think my head is so messed up I will never be the same. Basically detox even on a taper (I'm addicted to Adderall and Ativan) will be painful and maybe not even realistic.
1758796 tn?1312866914 I recently quit using hydrocoxone and xanax, however i decided to make a stupid decision. I took another pill, and even though it was different. They're bad regardless the name, and this time it was aderoll along with ativan. I feel crazy right now, they're so many moving shadows, noises, people keep screaming in my ear.
Avatar m tn s regiment that works for me...adderall ir 15 mg a.m...then....adderall 15 mg afternoon...then...1 mg Ativan when the afternoon stimulant dose is wearing off for the day. I take the pm adderall does 4 hours after the am dose to "overlap" so no comedown from first does...then when I get the big comedown on its way after the pm does is adderall...
Avatar m tn m just wondering how long you had or have been on Adderall. A lot of your symptoms are consistent with taking Adderall, especially on 80mg. I took Adderall and after two weeks I was paranoid, thought people were talking about me, police following me, depressed and anxious to the max!! After I stopped it the symptoms slowing got better. Come to find out all those thoughts were crazy and not true. I thank God I stopped that med.
Avatar f tn (Lamictal, Norco and Ativan for sleeping) His question to me was why I was on it to begin with? He stated his concern was the Lamictal and Adderall combination, as Lamictal is a downer and Adderall is a upper. I'm not stupid I do know the difference. I showed the pharmacist the schedule I have for the Norco and Lamictal , I can take those both at the same time with no ill affects. But he couldn't give me a answer how to fit the Adderall in the mix.
Avatar f tn If you're saying the Effexor was working well for your depression but isn't anymore, it may be it's tapped out -- these drugs do poop out on many people. The only solution for that is to change meds. (if you do that, do it very slowly, as slowly as you need to).
Avatar f tn Was wondering at this stage in getting clean if taking an adderall (not a million) would assist with energy without prolonging the withdrawl. Has anyone tried this.
Avatar n tn m getting pretty concerned I may have suffered a TIA the other night after an unusually large amont of adderall I had taken that day. I had consumed a 20mg XR at approx 7am, another 20mg XR at approx 6pm and at around 2am, took another 20 intending to continue studying through the night. Shortly after feeling the onset, my right hand and forearm began to tingle a bit, followed a couple hours later by my right foot.
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 n tn Hi, just a few questions and wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience or any thoughts or ideas. I've been diagnosed add/depression/anxiety. I've been on ativan, adderall, celexa, lexapro, and recently zoloft. I used the ativan for a short period of time for anxiety, but didn't want to make it long term for the risks involved although it helped my anxiety a lot and relieved some depression from that.
Avatar f tn I take 15 pills a day. I also take 20 mg (ER) of Adderall twice a day , 3mg of Ativan (benzo) and 2 soma (musel relax) . Lets not even start with the Doctor that seems to think all this is fine. I have come to relize in the past 2 months that THIS IS A PROBLEM. My husband is will to pay for the rapid detox Machine. I would like to know if anyone has done this. The doctor that prescribes to me actually screamed at me in his office last week when i told him my husband were looking into this.
Avatar n tn ve been reading a whole lot over the weekend and hope to attmept to address my ADD more with diet and less with the drug but I will say adderall has opened my eyes to the possibilities for me.
Avatar f tn Are you taking Adderall XR or Adderall? Is it a capsule or a tablet?
Avatar f tn Go to sleep with migraine and wake up with one. Since I tried adderall, I can hardly remember those heavy duty migraines! It works great for my hypertensives. But I just moved to a different state, and doctor doesn't believe that adderall can be helping. How can I be tested for ADHD and get the prescription that works for me? Thanks for help.
Avatar f tn Adderall should relax people with ADD. It relaxes me. She's basically using (abusing?) speed and dumped her boyfriend for no reason, possibly because her endorphines were flowing like crazy and she thought she didn't need him. She might have a tough time getting off it and crash hard. Plus when she gets offensve about her meds, that's a possible indication of drug abuse. Does her doctor know she also drinks every day? This is not a good recipe.
6726276 tn?1421126668 Thanks IL Advocate. So the elevated feeling is a side effect, not the purpose of the drug. Ok. The Klonipin helps more than adivan. The new PDoc has me taking Adivan with Geodone at night. I'm reluctant to inc the adivan. It's been 8 months & the adivan isn't working. Her responces are the two work with each other. She gets offended easily & acts cocky when I bring up med issues. She has helped me more than my previous 4 Pdocs though, so I'll stay with her for now.
Avatar n tn There is a bit of evidence that this can help with very little negative effect. The other two have a lot of issues associated with them. Ativan is something that I'd never use other than a rescue med at best knowing that it can be addictive in ways that can all of a sudden overtake your life. I would not continue using it. But I also know, it works. If you can ditch that one? AWESOME. Seroquel. When was the last time you had an assessment for your mental health?
