All The Adderall Talk In Here



^^ I never got on the Addys, I was put on Wellbutrin.

So far so good.. all is well.

You will be fine on Wellbutrin, if it gives you side effects try something else that is in that drug class.

I have been taking Lexapro for years now, not sure if I even need it.. but why quit something that is working?

Had my run with addy's and other drugs that make you go zoom, not good for me as soon I build up a tolerance I just up the dose, MORE for me is the name of the game. Some people can get away with it, wish I was one of those sometimes but many trial runs that ended up in disaster caused me to stop everything going on 7 years now.. :)

So did you notice a big change in the chief complaints ie..sleep, ocd,focus. Have you experimented w/ raising or lowering the dose or just left as prescribed?
 
I think everyone is confused. Or maybe I am. OP isn't taking adderall, he's taking wellbutrin. One has no relation to the other. I've taken both and I can say adderall will increase your anxiety and inability to sleep (if you're already suffering from those problems). Although both will help focus but they come at from different angles.

I go on and off the wellbutrin. I get it in my head that I should be able to "handle it" on my own so I get back off of it but all that does it send me spiraling. I have some serious serotonin and norepinephrine deficiency issues and I need to stop pretending otherwise.

Anyways I'm confused as to why everyone is saying he'll die before he's 40 and that it's a roller coaster ride (It's only one of those if he get off it and he should still be on it, as I said)
 
Doctors are actually starting to prescribe Zoloft for ADD/ADHD more often now. Pretty sad.
 
Same symptoms, trouble concentrating and focusing etc.. Best results for me have come trying to calm the mind with meditation, listening to classical music or Kelly Howells 'High Focus'/Brainwave sounds.

In addition a mix between Ginseng, Ginko, B-Vitamins as well as a mix of Choline, L-Tyrosine and Taurine. Read some research a long time ago about the mix minus the Ginseng/Ginko being amazing for mental focus and EAS had a product on the market. The closest you can come now is the Advocare Spark products but have NOT used them.

Found a mix containing all of those at Whole Foods in the vitamin isle but have the empty bottle at work...

Ironically, I've been really 'off' since stopping my 'juicing' focus wise and was thinking about starting a meditation routine/vitamins again. Even thought about going to the doc and try the medication route...

New Years resolution - 10 day juice fast, meditation and mental vitamin mix again...
 
if tired, unmotivated, unfocused

A) Get blood test and get thyroid levels checked
i) if abnormal, supplement with thyroid meds/supplements
If normal, or still feel the same, go to B)

B) Eliminate dairy and/or gluten from diet
If normal, or still feel the same, go to C)

C) Exercise
You are most likely going to feel better, but if still not up to par go to D)

D) See a shrink (DO NOT SEE A HOMEOPATHIC DOCTOR!!!)
i) if wealthy skip to ii), if not, proceed
a) Go to your insurance and find a list of shrinks, and call each one up. Find one that seems somewhat busy (if they're not busy, they prob suck and no one wants him)
b) Describe your problems. You will have to see him again, so be prepared to do research on meds.

ii) Research a shrink with that's received multiple credentials from prestigious medical schools
b) Describe your problems. You will have to see him again, so be prepared to do research on meds.

E) Research your meds. Look up various antidepressants, moodstabilizers, and antipsychotics (yes it sounds bad but it really isn't). Never let the shrink prescribe you any med without finding out the symptoms through your own research, as they often will not mention it.

F) Return and discuss the possible meds

G) Feel like a bawse. Repeat step C). If not feeling better, you probably need a new shrink, new meds, or should augment it with a) Fish oil and b) B-Complex Vitamins
 
Jason's turned into a fucking preacher since being on this stuff. Nigga be outtin gold mine secrets like its his job

I did see a big improvement in sleep and overall feeling better. The OCD/Focus thing is still kinda with me, but I see an improvement for sure.

I was confused as well. It was like I was going to die in a few days with the way some of the talk was in here.

Doctors are actually starting to prescribe Zoloft for ADD/ADHD more often now. Pretty sad.

oddly enough, the doctor also prescribed this WITH the wellbutrin. I got it filled but have not took it yet. I was planning to IF the wellbutrin didnt work out.

For New Years, I am planning to cut out carbs again, go off diary, and get out and exercise more.. so hopefully all will be perfect in a couple months.
