I've switched from one ADD medication to another, need better options?

Not really. When you say "in between", that would assume that the drugs are similar. As you say, Adderall is a stimulant and Wellbutrin is an antidepressant with benefits for ADD'ers. (I take that, and I find it quite helpful, I'm not as impulsive.) It wouldn't address sleep at all, though. To clarify, if you are trying to do two different things, there is no "in between".\n\nOver-the-counter things you could try could include two or three benedryl (I've been taking four for years, pharmacologically safe, a "loading dose" as a pharmacologist would say). Things that your doctor could do could include amytriptylene or trazodone. What I absolutely would avoid would be habit forming drugs like Xanax or Restoril, and especially alcohol. ADD'ers have very high rates of substance abuse, so avoid those like the plague if you know what's good for you.\n\nGood luck, and be an informed consumer with your doc.\n\nWith regards to the previous comment, listen, just go away. I honestly have better things to do with my time than to honor you with attention, but here goes. Please, find a reason to exist. Be helpful. Channel your feelings into making the world better, not your whipping boy.

You can try xanx.  Also I dont know if it will work for you, but I was prescribed Ritalin for my ADD and if I take a few of those, it puts me in a REAL good happy mood, like my dopamine is being increased.

I would ask the doctor. I am prescribed 20 mg/2 times a day, but made the mistake of self-dosing and it's not a very good idea. I think most people have trouble when adderall wears off. You could ask about Adderall XR, which may have a smoother effect overall and would only need to be taken once a day. \nHope it works out!

I'd go with Pharmaceuticals as there is more money.

This sounds just like me.  I developed horrible depression on Ortho Tri Cyclen.  Then I switched to a low dose pill (Mircette) and it helped a lot.  I definitely think you should switch.  I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen for a year and the depression didn't go away until I switched.  Besides, if you are hurting yourself then you definitely need to do something about it right now.

Call your provider and they can walk you through the changes you want done.  They helped me.

Why not see adoctor and ask if there is any other med that will last thru the day...Good luck

Agreed with above.  There are no advantages - you can only stimulate a receptor so much, so added medication does nothing.  And there is significant potential for adverse side effects.  Use one or the other at the prescribed dosage.  And do not try using a half tab of each, either.\n\nGood luck.

Hey, you're really close to my office. Try Adelphia. They're right around the corner in SM. Off of Olympic & Stewart.

D- Are you trying to get loaded?  I wouldn't suggest it. If these meds are prescribed to you, then you need to let the doctor know which meds you have.  If you received both prescriptions from the same doctor, then someone already told you about the side effects.  But...if you got these meds from an unsavory source, then I would say not to take too many of each one if you are taking both.  You don't want to go to sleep and never wake up.  Be careful.  As long as you're not taking five or six of each, you'll be fine.  Just test the strength of each first, then check out the synergistic effects of the combination.  Once you have determined that, you'll know how much of each to be taking.  Be careful.  I do not advocate taking other people's meds, but I'm not here to judge.  I'm don't play snitch and I am not a judge, but I am a drug counselor.  Be careful.

that really depends on what your doctor says.  different people have different needs.  also, what is the best for you at one point could not necessarily be the best at another point.  i have family members that have been switched from paxil to celexa to zoloft to lexapro because their needs have changed.

Don't start taking it again.  Go to your doctor and explain everything to him/her.  They will be able to prescribe you something else that will help.

You get forever stuck and by the time you realize you have it, your life is ruined, lol.  Make lists and lots of them.  Beg your doctor for a trial bottle of ritilan or similar.  If it has a calming effect on you, you have ADD.  If you feel wound up like most of the population would, then you don't.

Try Lamisil from the pharmacy.  It is awesome!
