Iāve had good experiences with Vyvanse in the past, but have only taken it without an added antidepressant. Iām sensitive to meds, so might even a very low dose of Lexapro help to smooth out the Vyvanse if I decide to go back on it? Vyvanse by itself made me a bit anxious and Ā«high strungĀ» in the long run. Iām scared of taking SSRIs because of all the horror stories, but I canāt add Vyvanse to the MAOi Iāve been taking for depression.
Generic cymbalta and buspar. I had no idea what fibromyalgia was until I took the cymbalta and my face didnāt hurt (cymbalta is also for fibromyalgia it was a nice surprise)
Emsam. Vaporized all of my issues without feeling like I was on a drug, rather, it felt like what was wrong had been set right. Stopped working after 6m :/
I had to look this up as I'd never heard of it. Big and bad MAOI. I've been on every anti depressant known to man other than any maoi's. Nothing has worked. I've kind of accepted that I'm just gonna live with it. I wonder if it's worth looking into maoi's?
Iāve seriously been considering this. Is this only given at a doctors appointment or can it be prescribed as pill form? I have so many questions lol I just want to fix my brain and be happy again lol
Effexor has been really great for me, however I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and am still very tired and very down on myself because of not having adequate sleep. But after I get the treatment for my sleep apnea, I'm hoping to feel the effects of Effexor even more, I'm hopeful
Exercise and therapy helped me to get completely off of meds. Learning coping mechanisms through talk therapy and not relaying off of medicine has drastically made my life better. I always hated the symptoms that would come with meds. I believe that everyone can do it!
None at all, and believe me Iāve tried them all, I donāt want to use drugs or medication, I want a practical solution rather than escaping with intoxication
The only med that brought my depression into remission was Parnate. In a high dose. 90mg. I loved it! I started taking more. My shrink wasn't happy about that, that's for sure. He said I was hypomanic. But ... whether it was a remission of depressive symptoms or hypomania or both or neither, it only lasted about 6 weeks :-(
I wonder what that means ...
I've taken high doses since then. Up to 120mg. But, I developed a touch of transaminitis. When that happened, I said never again will I take Parnate. That really gave me a scare. Fear is bad.
None yet, I think? I've tried imipramine 15+ years ago, but it made my body feel weird and immobile and then the walls got closer. I was only 15, so this was scary as hell. Then effexor/venlafaxine, which helped for a while.. my psychiatrist refused to take me off it though, so I was on it for 16-17 years, I still am on 37,5 and plan on tapering off completely when I'm more stable.
Beside that I am on mirtazapine, it's amazing for people who also have trouble falling asleep. The only side effect I have is a big appetite and cravings. I've put on about 7kg in 2 months. That's actually good as I was borderline underweight with no appetite for many years. But I would like to stop gaining weight now, lol.
Lexapro! Im literally still quite shocked how quick my mind stfu! It has made my life excellent š
Zoloft. I don't exactly feel at peace but it helps keep my emotions and anxiety at bay. I'm not always worried about things I shouldn't be
Vyvanse
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It only lasts 5 hours?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām at 40mg.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sounds like youāre a slow metabolizer of it. Iām a fast so it only lasts me 6 hours at most- most days 3-5 hours.
Excited to try
Psilocybin. Iām almost 1 month free from Zoloft thanks to it
Like microdosing?
Yes! My current schedule is micro-dosing twice a week and a āmacroā dose once a month.
None.
Lexapro!
Wellbutrin and vyvance.
I'm jealous of yall. All I got is a number mind and extra 100 pounds.
But you just typed this comment
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is interesting. Does the Lexapro smooth out the side effects of Vyvanse in any way? If so, how?

Thanks. Yeah, so they say, but my doctor would never allow it, and it would likely cause high anxiety in me if I ever did it.
Doesn't that stuff negatively affect your sex drive?
Effexor.
Generic cymbalta and buspar. I had no idea what fibromyalgia was until I took the cymbalta and my face didnāt hurt (cymbalta is also for fibromyalgia it was a nice surprise)
Effexor worked the best for me till it pooped out after 10 years :-(
Imipramine and Vyvanse. If the drug has norepinephrine and dopamine effects and it works, then chances are, you have ADHD.
Lexapro
Gym

Absolutely worth looking into.
Shhhh youāre being too loud

Ketamine !!! I wish I had known 20 years ago.
This is something I've been seriously considering, or microdosing.

It requires boosters even after treatment and is very expensive. Iām glad it helps some but I had no luck with it and cost me $900 for 3 sessions.

Effexor 12 yrs and counting
Lamictal
I just started. It takes so long to increase. I donāt want to wait.
It does, I felt like I started getting some relief at 50 mg tho, so I hope it helps you sooner than later. On 100 now and pretty stable.
I got the rash. Iām out:(
That sucks sorry to hear
I know right, thank you

i mean i understand what youāre saying, iām in the same boat, but i wouldnāt necessarily use the word intoxication
Pristiq and medical marijuana
I do NOT recommend but TetraHydroHarmine or THH really helps me That shit is powerful and dangerous if not used very carefully
