In reply to Any psychostimulant and antidepressant combination, posted by dennison on March 28, 2002, at 14:23:38
> Hi- Hello fello psychobabbler's!!!!! My pdoc has offerred to change my meds to any psychostimulant ex. ritalin,dexedrine,concerta and adderall-sustained release version of or normal------In combination with any antidepressant ssri,tricyclic etc. "all but an maoi"....... I would appreciate any input, opinions ,experiences anyone has had such as (zoloft+dexedrine) or (desimpramine + ritalin) or (prozac + adderall) !!!! These are just 3 examples obviously, but you get the concept!!!!! :) ....... Not looking for studies here or pubmed abstracts familiar with all those and more,actually more interested in personal experiences or your gut feelings or just your personal recommendations. Taking maoi presently,but it has seen it's better days-- aware of washout period --hmm -that should be fun :(:( ........ I'll add more information, in near future as I perceive relevant matters......... Thank You :):)
I have depression which is being treated with Wellbutrin SR 300 mg/day. I couldn't deal with prozac because it made me so tired I would sleep through entire days and I was already lethargic before I started the prozac. I recently added dexedrine to the mix which helps with recently diagnosed ADD (definitely inattentive or hypo-active like Fachad's description). I titrated from 10 mg/day of the spansules up to 40 which is what I'm on now. I know that combo would send some people through the roof, but I could still take an afternoon nap on it and have no problems sleeping at night.
