Well this may not apply to everyone. But for most of what i have seen.
1) Strattera (definatly for me)
2) Clonazepam
3) Trazadone
4) Haldol
5) Concerta (at lower doses-moderate doses) which i have heard reports and with Ritilin that it causes a zombie like effect.Tell me what is your?

Strattera and Prozac which causes a norepheniphrine over load, causing intense stress on one's self.
Wellbutrin and Prozac - can cause panic attacks very similar to strattera.
Wellbutrin nad Rililin- have read posts nad artlices that it causes siezures.
Clonazepam and Adderall - totally decreases the effect of it. Makes you feel you in an ocean in your head.
Herbal vitimens with stimulants in them with anything that is an antidepressant
Such as the new Energy drink "Red Line" which has 5-htp, l-tyrosine, many nuerotranmitter pre-q's with other herbal stimulants taken with antidepressants especially SSRI's this is a WARNING. Do not mix this with any psychiatric medication unless you want mental anxiety terror.
Thats it. For now

Maybe it's just me, and I know I don't know you nearly as well as others here (on the meds board I mostly just lurk). But it seems like maybe there is more focus and continuity in your thoughts and posts lately. Maybe the Strattera really is starting to help already, but its benefit will be something that sneaks up on you slowly over the next couple months. By which time you may have also adjusted to the initial icky parts you don't like.

Well what im saying is the strattrea and prozac 40mg combined causes a nerve, i mean like a mental explosion. I mean i have never experineced this kind of anxiety ever in my life.
My own theory is that norepheniphrine is increased significantly since prozac its self effects NE (norepheniphrine) and then with strattrea with it you can just boil and egg on your head.
I dont know thats just for me. I may get adjusted to it but the past days have been really hell for me. I go balisic, i have to take xanax everyday (1mg X 3 during the day) then when it wears off and still i feel nervous on it.
I took Zyprexa 5mg last night and im knocked out. Since it is an antipsychosis medication i feel ok, but still i feel on the edge.
But another rule of thumb dont drink redline Energy drinks with antidepressants because you will see if you do what will happen.

Strattera made me very irritable too. Is that something that passes? Also suffered increased sweating.

From what I recall I do think that for some people, there can be a very difficult adjustment period but things often get better. For those people, starting low and going up slowly as Matt is doing is supposed to at least help with that (tho it might understandably be hard to believe at the moment). But it's been a long time since I looked into it, and that was from a popular anecdotal report only.
I thought maybe his train of thought seemed more deliberate and focused lately, but even if so, yeah feeling ok would need to catch up with that too. Guess only the dreaded two months can reveal that part. Admittedly I'm not good at sticking things out myself.

I had admit i am staying strattera for a while at least 3 months until i see improvement.
Strattrea just did not start good for me.
Plus the 40mg of Prozac that i take. That may be it.

When I was on Zoloft and Provigil the anxiety was horrible! I switched to Lexapro and it helped a little, but only a little...
Now I'm on lexapro only, and i can't stay awake...did have 2 panic attacks recently though?? So maybe nothing's working yet...

That's weird because I take two SSRI's and a stimulant plus drink about 8 cups of expresso a day and feel fine. My current meds are : Lexapro,Lamictal,Topamax,Adderall and Trazadone.
