Is Wellbutrin compatible with Adderal?

To get a 100% correct answer to this you MUST talk to an MD. Everyone is different, but with that said...I know of a teenager who is taking both wellbutrin and aderol at the same time. They CAN and ARE  prescribed together. But again, the individual MUST talk to an MD.

Let me first say that ANY anti-depressant can become ineffective over time. HOWEVER, this dosage of Wellbutrin is NOT a therapeutic dose BY ITSELF. If the depression is worsening, it most likely is the DOSE and NOT the Wellbutrin....and, Wellbutrin XR is superior to regular Wellbutrin.

Anxiety is a common side effect of wellbutrin although it may wear off if you give it some time. The wellbutrin/effexor combo may ultimately work for you or something emphasizing wellbutrin less and SS/NRI's more (for instance, i'm not an expert in SSRIs or in distinguishing why docs will prescribe one over the other, but lexapro is a pure SSRI that has high efficacy in low doses). There are meds that treat anxiety like klonopin and, more generally, beta blockers, but those can have depression as a side effect because they are extremely calming.\n\nUnless you are super depressed and need much higher doses, it sounds like you and your doc need to find a balance between effective doses of the good meds and their side effects. This may mean experimenting with combination therapies.  Older classes of medications tend to have more side effects.\n\nAlso, if the agitation is severe, have you and your doctor considered the restlessness as a possible sign of hypomanic/manic reaction to the medication? Antidepressants are activating sometimes to a fault. Mood stabilizers like lamictal, trileptal, and lithium usually don't have agitation like that as a side effect, but diagnostically their appropriateness is a decision to be made by your doctor.

It depends on the ADD/ADHD and the person. There is never a better drug, cause we're all different

Those anti-depressants can really affect libido and ability to achieve orgasm.  Your doctor may be able to add a small dose of wellbutrin to help that side effect.  I don't think it will necessarily affect your chance of getting pregnant though.

Both are stimulants. Ritalin is a single drug. Adderal is a combination of four different stimulant salts mixed together- many folks agree it works better, provides better concentration without as much speedy effect. In a drug test it doesn't matter- the result will come back (with either med) as positive for amphetamines (which you can then prove you have a prescription for). Best not to share meds though.

ADD/ADHD is not an imaginary disorder.  It is a chronic developmental disorder which is genetically based.  It is not a learning disability, but can co?exist with learning disabilities in approximately 25 to 33 percent of those diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.\n\nI am taking concerta.  It is fine for this problem.  There are side effects however.\n\nI never heard of anyone who is taking or is told to take two different kinds of this medication together.  I am not positive but I don't think it is a good idea.

Any time that you swith medications in the psychotropics category,it is a difficult transition. First you have to completely go off the Celexa,which is hard to do,because it is an addictive medication. It is in the drug class of SSRI's. Wellbutrin is in a different category of drugs,that treats different symptoms than the celexa does.\nI will tell you that it is not impossible to do,but it is not going to be easy.\nMake sure that you are in contact with your physician,if you need to make this transition. It is also helpful,when swithching meds to see a good Psychologist,as they can help you through therapy and advise you on many issues such as the feelings you will be experiencing. Good luck to you.

WOW.\n\nI never thought of Aderal being used in the scenario you described.  At 38 years old, I have just started taking some of these ADD/ADHD drugs.  They can have positive results, even in the 'short term' you describe.  There will be behavioral changes some positive some negative.  You may want to suggest to your friend to switch medications, as there are numerous.  One side affect he may not tell you about is ED.  That may be his gripe.  That's what mine was!\n\nThe drug company web sites can outline the dosages which are normally prescribed.

Wellbutrin does have sexual side effects, but are usually temporary, and when compared to other depression meds, i.e. Paxil, Clonopin, etc. it is relatively mild. Wellbutrin was originally designed as a smoking cessation medicine, but doctors found by accident that it has mood stabilizing property as well. Smoking cigs in itself can cause impotence and you shouldnt smoke while taking this med, but no truth has been found that smoking while on this med causes more or less sexual dysfunction. Good luck.

You need to make sure your doctor knows all the medications you are taking as well as the pharmacist.  I would probably trust a pharmacist at least as much or more to know what can be mixed together.  If you have concerns, ask the pharmacist when you have the prescription filled to check for compatability of the medications.

No, Aderall and Ritalin cannot be used for meth withdrawls.  They're amphetamine based drugs so to prescribe them is compounding the problem.  \n\nCheck your local listings for drug treatment centers and see if they have an outpatient treatment program.  They'd be the best people to tell you if there are any drugs that can be prescribed for withdrawls.\n\nAlso, check your local Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or Cocaine Anonymous chapters for meetings and get yourself to one pronto.  They're the best people and there are many online meetings if you don't choose to go to one in person.\n\nIf you need to, feel free to email me with any recovery related questions and I'll point you in the right direction.  My email is the same as the Yahoo ID I'm using here.

Adderall is brand name for a mixture of amphetamine isomers and salts.\n\nIt contains the D-dextro and L-levo isomers of the amphetamine molecule and 3 different salts, including saccarate, sulfate, and aspartate.\n\nIn simplest forms, Adderall is nothing but a big SPEEED concoction.\n\nIt is prescribed to people who have Attention Deficeit Disorder, or as an anorectic (to make fat people not eat so much).\n\nThese other people have obviously no experience in amphetamines at all, and are just trying to encourage you not to do it.  They talk of it making you sick and hyper, that is absolutely untrue.  It will make you completely stimulated in the task that you choose.  Basically, amphetamine is a miracle substance.  It can give you the ability to concentrate in depth, even in extreme situations.  Also, It doesnt necessarily make you "hyper".  It makes you "stimulated".  You wont be jumping off the walls or anything of that nature.  You may talk more and persue more physically demanding tasks then normal.  Infact i think amphetamine actually has somewhat of a calming, chill effect.  It allows you to completely focus your attention to where u please it.  Complete control while under the influence.  \n\nThe main positive effects of Adderall are euphoria, heightened sense of awareness of all senses, ability to concentrate for extended periods of time.\n\nThe main negative effects of Adderall are slightly raised blood pressure, illegality of the chemical, and when the experience is over,(usually 4-5 hours after ingestion depending on whether it is Immediate release or XR extended release), you will feel slightly drained or in drug terms, a comedown.  The harshness of the comedown is directly proportional to the dosage.\n\nWhat strength do you have, I would recommend as it being your first time take no more than 50 mg immediate release, and no more than 75 mg of the XR capsules.  Enjoy, I know I do.

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.
