Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel with adderall

seroquel

Avatar f tn I have been taking a number of medications since I turned 21 in 2008, the first being Prozac, Adderall, and Seroquel. I was only prescribed Seroquel for as long as my doctor wanted to "observe possible Bipolar symptoms".... after about 3 months he took me off Seroquel. After years of continued difficulty with bouts of depression, anger/irritability, sleep, I saw a new doctor in 2015 who prescribed Abilify 5mg along with Adderall.
Avatar m tn i have BP and also adult ADHD,befor they put me on adderall for the later condition I had a terrible time with focus, concentration and staying on task. The adderall . helped with everything including the lows of the BP. What a God send I can now function more like eveyone else. This may not be the answer for you but it worked wonders for me. Good luck and I hope you get to feeling more alive!! I'll add you to my prayers, God also can perform miracles no drug can do.
1240654 tn?1268317515 I was on abilify for a bit. I hated it. It stopped all my thoughts. It basically turned me into a zombie. I went off of it and switched to seroquel, which I prefered. Seroquel causes weight gain and drowsiness, though. I gained about 20 lbs on it. I would take the dose at night but it was so drowsy that I would be hung over in the morning so I started splitting the dose and taking it 3 times a day which meant that I was drowsy all the time but functioning.
Avatar m tn I also take Adderall XR for my ADHD (which is a stimulant) and it did not help with making me less drowsy. Talk with her doctor, and give it time. I was told that it usually takes a couple of weeks for the body to adjust.
Avatar n tn Some say Adderall made their bipolar infinitely worse and unmanageable and advise stopping it. however some found it helping them especially along with ADD. NO 2 persons with bipolar are exactly the same, and they won't react exactly the same to any medication. there is a link though to a similar question in a previous medhelp posts, e.g http://www.medhelp.
Avatar m tn I have such a big problem with the Opana ER, I (like you) can hardly stand to deal with ANOTHER PROBLEM! Anyway, I just want you to know, Rosehouse, that you aren't the only one dealing with such hard issues. Sometimes I am STARTLED to say it mildly or STUNNED that my issues are so great! We have to hold on--be strong- and trust that life is going to get really good for us in 2012! Just believe with me! And, I was in tx about 1 1/2 years ago, and again when I was in my mid 20s.
Avatar f tn 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). Been doing ok on it despite constant dry mouth and some weight loss. Well I just talked to him again and told him I liked it but felt it hard to focus again. He then suggested starting 20 mg three times a day!
Avatar f tn I've been smoking marijuana for about 5 years. I've been diagnosed bipolar for about 2 years. I recently had a really bad reaction to pot. REALLY bad. I almost killed myself, screamed at my friends, and vomited for 2 days. No one else that smoked it had a bad reaction. I haven't had a medication change recently. I'm on lamictal, seroquel, wellbutrin, cymbalta, and adderall. I don't know what happened. It wasn't laced or else everyone would have gotten sick.
Avatar f tn Last June I had a breakdown and I was out of state a a physician I went to put me on seroquel, lexapro, and vyvanse....along with my klonopin. This seemed to be working, then he added Adderall and I was amazed at this. I felt "normal" for the first time in 30 years. I could think straight, and as time has gone by the depression has gone. I take 30 mg of this a day. Recently, since the insurance said they would not pay for Vyvanse and Adderall the Dr.
Avatar m tn I'll try to make this brief and short. I don't know what's wrong with me anymore. My current Psychiatrist doesn't know what's wrong with me, so, I'll begin seeing a different Psychiatrist on Monday. And I'm so uncomfortable and unhappy that it's going to be very difficult to wait for Monday. My brain does not react to any type of antidepressant.
Avatar f tn 00pm. After two weeks on this med and dose I found myself trying to take 2 at once to see if it would work since I felt absolutely nothing taking 1 10mg tablet twice during the day. I swear I do not abuse medication but whether my body can't absorb medication or I'm just defective I know that most people on the shear amount of different meds I take daily and then the dosages, it should be obvious that I'm highly medicated. But I'm not at all.
563541 tn?1257877567 i was in same boat....doc sent me home with script for seroquel....i took it in hospital, didn't help me sleep one bit....but also, after reading up more on it, didn't like what was said about the drug....so i never got the script filled after getting home and i don't regret it....yes, i still have problems sleeping, but the seroquel didn't help me with that issue anyway, so why take it? i'm not sure about helping with depression, etc.
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.
584628 tn?1218598371 I have never ever been the type of person whos weight fluctuates. About 3 months ago I started taking 20mg lexapro at night with the 50mg seroquel. All I know is i used to be a size 4...ive been a size 4 for the past 8 years probably...NOW, i am a size 10 or 12...and all the weight is in my stomach(with a little in my hips/butt). Im not pregnant...I exercise...I eat pretty healthy...but im confused as hell. has ANYONE had a similar situation with this drug(s)?
Avatar n tn My psychiatrist wanted to give me a mood stabilizer along with Seroquel but now there is no need for that ... He said depression was expected as a side effect of treating mania but it will be gone and that's what happened .....
Avatar n tn i am bipolar and adhd(mild to moderate) I am also on a mood stabilizer (lamictal). The adderall actually helps me with my motivation, energy and focus. I do think, however, that since adderall is a stimulant, it would make someone who is experiencing a manic episode, more manic, if they were not on a mood stabilizer. It seems that maybe her doctor thought she had ADHD, so he gave her adderall.
Avatar m tn Hi this is typically me it's difficult to say whether you are bipolar or not. Pdocs without exception tell you if you get manic/hypomanic even ONCE then you are bipolar. Whether this is true or not, nobody knows. There is a person though Akiskal (psychiatrist, google him) he classifies this as BP III or cyclothemia (mild BP) that is antidepressant induced mania.
Avatar f tn I been taking adderall since before i can remember, atleast 18 years on and off but mostly on. Ritalin never worked... Im 26, 5'5 and weigh post partum at 7 weeks 152 lbs and im at 30mg ir 3x a day. I was taking this dosage before pregnancy about a yr ago when i was 122 lbs and it worked for te most part... AS most ppl may know some docs wont allot pregnant women to have any adderall.
Avatar n tn This is not uncommon, I have this problem as well. 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 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?
Avatar f tn What kind of stuff does he steal? Only from his family? From stores? From friends? Kids at school? Does the stealing happen at all times of the day? Or when his adderall has worn off?
Avatar f tn However, the Genetics doctors say it has nothing to do with the Seroquel. She says there are tons of cases of children with ASD whose mothers never took Seroquel or any meds. Personally I think Autism Spectrum Disorder has more to do with the age of the father or perhaps even the mother. My husband and I are in our forties.
Avatar n tn Were you diagnosed with anything else in addition to OCD? I know sometimes anti-psychotics are prescribed to OCD sufferers but I thought Seroquel was for Bi-Polar?
Avatar n tn About a month ago I added seroquel to the Cymbalta and Adderall I take. I have slowly worked up to 300mg/day. During this time I have had increasingly painful aches in my upper body. My neck is stiff and sore. My joints all crackle. My wrists are in a great deal of pain. And the worst is the shooting pains I get through out the day in my forearms, which turns into a chronic numbness, predominately on my right side.
Avatar n tn I was on amitriptyline, temazepam & ibeuroprophen about 5 times a day & i was petrified i had harmed my child but baby is fine. Healthy & growing very nicley.
1965148 tn?1354978634 I have been taking seroquel for 1-2 years.. at 1st i considered this my MAGIC PILL, however the sedation is a killer. I have suffered extreme tiredness, lethargy and sedation on many different meds in the past 8 yrs to treat my BP, including zoloft, lithium, epilim.. and i didn't notice it with the seroquel at 1st, but now i may as well be a zombie. I have just today changed my script to seroquel XR (the slow release). Can anyone tell me, is the dopiness any or much less on this?
