Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I don't know any other way of saying this so I am just going to shoot it straight...I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety...no antidepressants seem to work. I am tired all the time and have zero motivation. Loss of interest on pretty much everything. As far as anxiety, I get very overwhelmed and feel I cannot complete anything..also obsess on thoughts in my head to the point I literally feel I cannot function or think about anything else. This effect my home life and work also my driving...I have a hard time "paying attention" or even keep g on tasks let alone even doing them...I feel it is getting worse and am at my wits end...I did try a vyvanse one day around 10 am. Felt calmer,was able to make a list and actually complete it. Mood was better. And was able not to obsess in my head over a certain thought..I want to be honest with my doctor and ask her if this is something we could consider even if it is a trial or temporary but I don't know how to go about it..I have never had a drug problem and have always been wary of taking medication but this really helped me. I have always had problems staying on task and focusing but as I get older it seems to be getting worse. I am nervous about bringing this up to her considering I am not prescribed it and I tried it. I guess I was just wondering what your take on this is..and what would you say if I was your patient...I just want to feel normal and happy again..also I had really no bad side affects...I am on amyltriptaline at night (which does not work) wake up every couple hours...and when I took the vyvanse I actually slept all night! Also suffer from neck and back stiffness but when I took the vyvance I was up and moving instead of laying around so I was not constantly stretching it or thinking about it...I guess I would just like to know what you think before I talk to my doctor..nervous but hopeful somewhat
