447130 tn?1225470866 I have always suffered from major depression and a mood disorder even though they don't come out and say it's bipolar, they treat is as such and it's helped. I've been on Abilify for a year now and I was doing so well but now I'm tired all the time, have no motivation, and feel overall blah! I see my pdoc next week and I wonder if I need a new mood stabelizer or a higher dose of Abilify.
Avatar f tn My son currently takes vyvanse for his adhd wich seems to be helping him alot in school,but he has been taking geodon and clonidine for about 6 weeks or so and he has become alot more aggressive once he vyvanse weres off he is totally out of control phyc says leave him on it since he gets good sleep but everything i a constant fight and he tears everything up wich he did prior to the meds but he just seems worse could he be taking the wrong mix of medicines or does it just take more time worried
Avatar f tn I have started back Vyvanse last month at a low dose, it's not working like it should. I am 34 and in school so I need it to work. But what is a dose that helps the symptoms of ADD the best?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with ADD about a year ago. I am a 15, almost 16 year old boy. I tried a few different medicines, but none worked. I prefer medical marijuana but we finally found something that worked. Vyvanse. I'm not to sure about how this stuff works and I was curious on how it works. Does Vyvanse help depression? I tend to think poorly about the future and about working out. But when I take a 40-50mg pill, I feel happy, confident, focused and smart. Am I the only one who experiences this?
Avatar f tn For me, I realized the poor motivation and low ambition I was experiencing all these years was mostly from a lack of stimulation and poor mental energy to focus on doing anything, and sustain through doing anything. It was also depressing not having the stimulation to get much done and follow through, a lot of time gets wasted. I realized all of this once I started medicine a few months ago. I realized it the first day of starting Vyvanse, it was incredible.
Avatar m tn I take 60mg of geodon, 40mg of vyvanse everyday for bipolar 2 and adhd. For about the past year I have been unknowingly talking what I think out loud. I make involuntary sounds and get strange looks when in public. I only hear the thoughts in my head but I cannot tell when I am saying them out loud. It is very stressful and has caused me to avoid social interaction for fear of saying something wrong.
Avatar f tn SSRI's are supposed to make you feel balanced and give you an overall sense of well being. Mania is an unusual reaction.
Avatar n tn I take ADD meds along with Abilify and Seroquel at night. I'm currently on Vyvanse because my focus and concentration were out of control. I couldn't stay on one topic for more than a few minutes if I tried. This new drug has helped. I have cleaned up my desk and gotten some issues that I put off resolved. I love Vyvanse and you only take it once a day. I think you will see great changes once she's got her meds straight. It's just a matter of finding the right one.
Avatar n tn I have severe bipolar disorder, but i am Lso on 50 mg of vyvanse. Doctors try to avoid vyvanse and adderall ect with bipolar because it causes mania. Adderal is not used for bipolar. For bipolar i take abilify (aripiprizole) 10mg and 1000mg of divalproex sodium.
Avatar f tn My question is about my current dosage of Adderall. But first, I'd like to share my background with those of you reading this. Bear with me, this post is very long. I was finishing the last months of undergrad I found myself extremely depressed. It came to the point where I could not wake up in the morning without crying. I was thinking of committing suicide nearly every single day. I couldn't put my finger on what was causing the depression.
Avatar n tn He has been on several different medications and currently is on Vyvanse and Depakote ER. His major issues before being hospitalized were hallucinations and suicidal ideation with aggression toward other students at school (he tried to stab 2 kids with scissors and has hit several other kids and the principal).
Avatar n tn When my daughter was 1 i noticed an over load of energy,when she was 4 she started experiencing more jelousy and so on. I've had her on a couple medacines and they always seemed to make her worse so i took her off for a year or 2..As some time went by my daughter had been sexually abused and bounced from home to home and schools..I see her shutting down alot,she's in therapy has been for a year but i dont see no improvement.
Avatar f tn whoah.. i just switch from adderall xr 20mg to vyvanse 50mg.. i like the vyvanse so far, less anxiety with it, but anyways i had the same problem with the adderall.. i would drink so much alcohol, which is something you should not do if you take any type of psychiatric medications.
Avatar m tn He is taking meds that I feel couter act one another....reperidone.25mg 2 x day, vyvanse 30 mg 1 x a day, zoloft 1/2 25mg a day, and methyphidate 10 mg 1 x a day in afternoon. Help. Does these different medicines seem necessary. He is still have concentration issues.
Avatar f tn my son dustin who is 10 has been taking 4mg of risperdal for the treatment of bipolar-mood disorders for about 3 years his pshyciatrist about 2 weeks ago cut the dose in half to try to wean him off slowly over a two month period the past week he has been real emotional could someone please tell me if there is another type of medication that works as well as resperdal without any of the harmful side effects of resperdal
Avatar n tn Recently, I went to the doctor for ADHD (after putting this off year after year) I briefly spoke about the depression to him and he mentioned Bipolar II. I said, oh no I was just depressed - I was immature and blah blah blah. So, I get prescribed Vyvanse and nothing - just extreme tension and irritability. I see him again and he offers to subscribe me Lamictal for my "disorganized thoughts".
Avatar f tn I am bipolar, and I have taken Klonopin (clonozopam) for years...current dosage is 5mg per day as needed. Sometimes I have needed it for several days in a row, and then not for 3 or 4 days, sometimes longer. As I have aged, my bipolar has become unmanageble just by the Klonopin and lowering my stress. 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.
Avatar f tn My first psychiatrist was very nice, however, after 2 years of treatment I was not getting better. She had diagnosed me with bipolar and had me on several medications. My friend recommended a physiatrist that specializes in bipolar. I went to him for a second opinion. The consultation went very well. He stated that I did NOT have bipolar, but instead had an array of conditions. He gave me this list of conditions: A.D.
Avatar f tn im on the highest dosage of vyvanse and its supposed to last longer than addorall but it seems to be working less and less...is that possible?? im sick of insurance not paying for this medication yet not getting any other substantial benifit from vyvanse, anyone else experience a increased tolerence to any add meds?
Avatar f tn He takes 50 mg of Vyvanse daily and was wondering if anyone has experienced this side effect with Vyvanse. Thank you.
Avatar f tn s also been some question as to whether or not my sibling also has comorbid bipolar disorder. My previous doctor thought I may have bipolar 2, so she put me on escitalopram and lamictal. I've since stopped talking the escitalopram, as the 2 SSRIs I've been on in the past have both seemed to "poop out", as has the lamictal to some extent. So, after a particularly nasty episode of depression, my new doctor started me on Remeron (mirtazapine).
Avatar n tn my step son is supposed to take vyvanse and clonidine, but he has been out of vyvance for 3weeks now and seems fine taking only clonidine.
