This is my first post, sorry that its sooo long, hope i can relate to a few people. Thank you for the help, it means a lot. Ill get you back.
I just read somethings about kids taking antidepressants at the same time as ritalin, and dying?!? It scared me enough to come here.
I have been on Ritalin for a few months or so and have built up somewhat of a tolerance. A few weeks ago I was prescribed celexa for depression, by my doctor. Being that I'm at college i had to see someone other than my normal psych, for my sleep problems, for which he prescribed me Trazadone. Depressants scare me. You could like die and wouldnt even have control, or know it. I can't remember much of what he said, so im here askin.
Could it be bad to have large amounts of ritalin, celexa, and trazodone in my system at the same time??? Im mostly concerned with the trazodone's effect on the others.
Im fairly sure that ritalin is ok with celexa, or at least ive been on ritalin while on other ssri's. The trazadone is a big Q. I used to take it while on paxil, and it went well. It's my understanding that trazodone isnt and MAOI inhb. but am unsure whether or not its safe to take with celexa. Also, in taking high doses of ritalin there is a small amount left in my system in my system when i go to bed. Can i take trazodone simultaneously with ritalin? A stimulant and a depressant? i thought that was bad news for sure? Like a mild speedball.
Any things to avoid taking other than alcohol and maois? And whats the exact deal with maoi's and alcohol(Im at college, I NEED to know) Like 1 drink and death or like 2 or 3 wouldnt really danger you, but getting drunk would? Is it ok to take sleep meds to come down from the ritalin, cause sometimes it lasts long and i have to wake up early.
Well thats it. Thanks for listening. Hope to help you guys out later. Any advice or suggestions are hugely appreciated. This thing should auto reply but im gonna leave an email address cwb01001@uconn.edu peace
