How To Manage Anxiety Symptoms Caused By Adderall Intake?

default
Posted on Fri, 27 Feb 2015
Question: i am now 21. I hadn't had this problem with these tics and anxiety issues from taking the adderal until the past 2-3 years. Being in college I've had to increase my dosage. 60 mg is the lowest amount that allows me to be productive with my day to function normally, go to class, and focus on my school work at all times. What is your opinion on taking welbutrin with adderal. Ive heard mixed feelings, but I was a little nervous to start it. i am thinking that maybe taking welbutrin will help with the depression and lack of motivation. If i had more motivation and excitement, maybe I could lower my adderal to 50 or 40 so that way I could be on a dose that will not cause these tics and anxiety that 60 mg does. My doctor also said to try out lorazapam 1 miligram when you feel like your hearts racing and your minds just all over the place. It definitely does help minimize the effects I get from adderal especially when its wearing off. I don't know if any of these ideas are the correct way to approach this situation because i'm not really sure what it is thats going on. I just know that my body is in such discomfort when i take my adderal, but I have to take it in order to go to school and do my work and get out of bed and focus.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Although these two can be taken BUT if both these two are combined there are increased chances of seizures.

As your main concern is depression so i would suggest you SSRIs like citalopram. It provides better & satisfying results when taken with adderal. Its better to set an appointment with a psychiatrist and discuss with him about this treatment so that he can adjust dose & prescribe you this medicine(because it is a prescription medicine).

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
