I want to take it because I’m beyond depressed & don’t feel like I want to live I also want something that may help with ADD.

But I also have GAD, panic and derealization disorder. Also, my depression is somewhat delusional. No hallucinations though, but delusional guilt.

I don’t have a problem with Ritalin, and lots of people say Ritalin makes them anxious. It seems to calm me down.

I wonder if the stimulation with Wellbutrin is different from the stimulation from Ritalin?

I’ve read too much crap on the web about people’s bad experiences with Wellbutrin, like feeling derealized and panicking and having a sense of impending doom, etc.

I really don’t need any more of that. I’ve got it without meds. I wonder if I should just not experiment… Argh! I want my ADD and depression fixed!

I was going to start on 150 XR tomorrow morning, but I’m really scared and panicky already. Prolly not good. I’m pregnant, so can’t take a benzo with it. :(

I really like reading about Haile Selassie I.

Idiopathic Hypersomnia

Before being diagnosed with ADHD, I was first diagnosed as having Idiopathic Hypersomnia. Whether or not it is a co-existing condition or simply an atypical symptom of the ADHD is anyone’s guess. The same medicines are usually used to treat both.

I am wondering if there is anyone else out there, what struggles they have had, and what solutions they have found.

New and need advice

I have a 7 year old son that was just diagnosed with ADHD. He started on Vyvanse today. I was worried about giving it to him and them sending him to school not knowing if it would have any side effects, so I decided I would go to school and have lunch with him. Well, I’m glad I did. When I got there, he was a mess. He had been crying and was very emotional. He has always been a sensitive kid, but this was different. He sobbed like a hormonal pregnant woman. It took me about 15 minutes to get him to calm down, but once I did I asked him how things were going so far, and he said up until a few minutes before I got there it was great. He said he was the first person to finish all his assignment today and he felt like he could pay attention a lot better. His teacher said she could already tell a difference, even after just one day. But I am worried about this emotional outburst. It was all over the fact that his music teacher didn’t notice he had his hand up to ask a question. If anyone has any advice that may put my mind at ease….please share, I welcome any words of encouragement.
Hey all,

So for the first couple of weeks tbh Concerta was not really working out that good for me, I just felt relaxed but within the last week I can really feel it, Its great and so much more pure than Ritalin (imo).

Anyway,
When having sex in the evens, I find that orgrams last 5x times as long and that I don’t feel to come right right down once i came…..
But wow, I was like there for 20 seconds unable to move, man it was great !

:thankyou: Concerta

Okay, 2nd Psychiatrist Visit Done

Met with the second school-selected psychiatrist yesterday. She said she can’t tell the school to send my daughter to another district, that she could only give a medical diagnosis. She said she was diagnosing my daughter with Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety Disorder and PTSD due to the bullying at school.

The report will be sent to the school today or Monday, at the latest.

Sounds like this is a good thing for my case, right?

Did you graduate from high school?

today depressed more than ever and knowing that even high school I wasn’t able to graduate doesn’t make me feel better about myself or my future:(

what about you?
I gave in to ADHD and my other bunch of defects, I can’t think clearly and concentrate and function. nothing at all, I’m paralyzed.

what can I do?:(

What’s the effective dose for ADHD?

I would like to know if taking 300 mg of the XL version would make a difference. Has anyone had any good results with just taking Wellbutrin?

It freaking gives me anxiety but works great for depression though. :umm1:

Was diagnosed with ADHD (among other things) at an early age and was on way to many medications for most of my life. Sophmore year in highschool I decided to take myself off of everything.

I consider myself as someone with above average intelligence, and in my 4 years of college I managed to pull off a 3.5, with very little focus in and out of the classroom. I only used Adderall during finals weeks. I studied business and psychology.

Up to present day I have steadily developed OCD (more O than C), which seems to get worse each year. One theory is that it’s to help me compensate with my ADHD, and the disorganization it causes.

Surprisingly, I’ve always been pretty happy, especially today. I’ve lived with my GF for almost 3 years, I’m in graduate school (light semesters) for accounting, and I work in the oil and gas business. I also spend quite some time writing and producing music. However, I’m still haunted by my inability to focus with all of these tasks.

I take Adderall 1-2x per week to help me get through all the To Dos I neglect the other 5-6 days each week. The problem is it makes me very irritable so I smoke marijuana (prescribed legally) to make me nicer, winc Adderall can make me very temperamental.

Marijuana in itself has adderall like effects for me in that it motivates me (even with no stimulants). It doesn’t provide the same level of focus that adderal does, but adderall doesn’t seem to provide the level of motivation I get from marijuana. Also, marijuana helps with the creativity I need for critical reasoning and also for writing music. Both of these substances however, seem to enhance my OCD, leading me to spend way to much time organizing or on arbitrary products that distract me from my main tasks.

So I’m stuck in this spiral of self medication, and now I’m considering cutting back on marijuana and attempting daily use of adderal. I’m also considering adding Wellbutrin in the mix to help balance me out. This is my main purpose in joining the forum. I will take what I am offered here and present my conclusions to my Physician (I don’t see a psychiatrist).

Thank you for your help and sorry for long post.

Get up and dance I'm in the mood for love I wanna see you rise and shine On revelations day We're about to explore, about to ignore In such an easy way It's the perfect cure in a perfect world On revelations day I'm free at last I'm free I'm free at last I'm free You can't judge me, cuz' you don't know me Get up and dance, I'm in the mood for love I reveal your insecurity On revelations day You're hanging in a puppetstring Let me relief your pain You're the driving force in an overkill On revelations day I'm free at last I'm free I'm free at last I'm free You can't judge me, cuz' you don't know me The gravity changes, want's your love... at last I'm free I'm free at last I'm free... Get up and dance, I'm in the mood for love On revelations day Grin on your face and twisted mind Sweat on your hands excited like achild Another plan semms to work out The show will start it's a question of time Run run run! You're like a bomb Hide hide! It's gonna blow! Burstin' bombs, you smile like a child Grin on your face when people die You choose a place which has to burst It's a great fun when you watch us guess And then you bet on the number of deaths The clock is tickin' waitin' for blast Go!
