Question 10 | ADHD Information

Reality ,

Has anyone told you to just shut up lately. Oh yes, I have. Now

 CAN YOU???

 

.... well, has anyone ?

sdw227,

   They don't "assume" you might have depression or anxiety.

   They just want to sell you drugs... and if they can get you thinking that maybe you're "depressed" or "anxious" ... along with your ADHD... they've got more drugs just for you.

   Strattera is an SNRI drug which puts in the same class as Effexor... an antidepressant. But maybe Strattera has a "stimulant" and a "depressant" blend.

   And it's still got serious warnings on it.

   I just hope they aren't trying to sell Cymbalta and Strattera together.

Yes, I did a great deal of research and though before taking Strattera.  I also take measures to "flush" my kidneys and liver in the morings.  It's an oral aloe vera concentrate with detox herbs.  Good stuff!  Take it with a glass full of water on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and you are in the bathroom a half hour later....I believe this information has a copyright on it, just in case ou didn't notice.

I found this on the Eli Lilly website... www.AdultADD.com.

  Notice there is no mention of alternatives to "medications" ?

  Question 10 hints at having "depression" or "anxiety" ALONG with ADD.

  Question 10 SELLS MORE DRUGS.

   Eli Lilly cares... they really do !.... as long as you buy their drugs.

I do find it interesting that they assume people with ADHD have depression.  I'm glad to say I'm not in that percentage.  No added sales to Eli Lily from me.  They do have me on Strattera but I do not know how that effects depression.  I was not depressed before I started Strattera and have not noticed any "weird" mood adjustments because of the drug. 

cynthiatweedle,

    I didn't notice. Thanks for tipping me off.

    While I have your attention...

    here's some reading on SSRI and SNRI antidepressants and why I call them the most dangerous drugs in the world....

Thanks but no one in my family is taking any medications for ADHD.

 

   I'm just curious...

   Has anyone ever been prescribed Cymbalta and Strattera at the same time ?

 

cynthiatweedle,

   I just thought you'd be interested in some more info on antidepressants. You said you work in a mental health field and that antidepressants "saved" lives.

   Well, they also can kill people.... and not just the one taking them.
