What is everyone taking? | ADHD Information

I am taking Wellbutine.  I have only been on them for 4 days.  Anyone else take these or have taken them?  Side effects? good / bad

I am hopefully get a poll going if I get enough different types of medicins names.  

 

My prescription is for generic adderall. 

For me, tonight's self-medication will be four pints of Marston's Pedigree, and a pipe filled with Dunhill Nightcap.

I take ConcertaER (long-acting). I also take Paxil for depression/anxiety; Carbatrol (tegretol) for mood swings. They all seem to be working well together.Wellbutrin , my shrink said, is affective for some folks with ADD?ADHD. I know it has norephineprine and dopamine.


I take 300mg of Wellbutrin SR ( Generic: Bupropion) and 60mg of Ritalin LA. My Dr. first prescribed the Wellbutrin so I could quit smoking, I had great success it's now been 8 years. Haven't had any side effects with either medication.I take Straterra 100 Mg/day

Coffee... In great amounts... people think I am insane with the coffee... I drink 24-32 cups a day... It works like a charm for me... I am thinking of getting caffeine prescribed, so I do not need to drink all that coffe... just as a preliminary before I get the right stuff...

Oh, and then from time to time I take a 9,8% beer...

Taag Man38438.9991666667I was on Effexor XR ~250mg, 20mg Buspar, and 80mg Straterra daily-for
ADHD and anxiety--it was working great! Then my liver enzymes went
up--well, only my GGT, but with the reports of liver failure my dr.
decided to stop the Straterra and recheck the GGT.

So, I was sans Straterra for 1 month--that's when I noticed how well it
had been working! I had been diagnosed as a child and my parents were
awesome about working with me with behavior modification and keeping
a schedule so I wasn't medicated.

Now, I am on Effexor XR 150mg, Buspar 20mg, and Ritalin 20mg twice
daily. It seems to be working well--although not as even as a result as
the Straterra.
I'm taking generic ritalin 3 times a day at 10mg until tuesday when I see the doc.  I think I want to take concerta cause I feel like such a mental case popping pills every four hours!! I've been on Wellbutrin over a year. I don't see any results but everyone who relies on me does. So it must be working. Useful for weight reduction and smoking cessation. Some side effects. Careful getting off of it.

Hi, I have been taking Wellbutrin for five years and that stopped my anxiety attacks and I have never had a side effect. I was on Adderall RX 10mg a day for one month recently and it changed me completely.  It was great. Now I am off and trying Dexedrine about 15mg. a day but it's not that great.  I was wondering about combining Conceta and Dexedrine.  Anyone try that?

I take Adderall (generic).  It's been great so far.  I'm finally sleeping through the night.Dexedrine 0-20mg / day, Wellbutrin 150 mg / day, Neurontin 600-900mg / day,  Lisinipril 10mg/day for slight elev bp, 2- 4 caffiene beverages / day,  balanced (no really) diet, 0-2 alcoholic beverages and thankfully no longer taking nicotine.

< =""> Ritalin 20mg SR and 10mg to top up if needed.  Very satisfied with results so far. I'm taking concertaER(12hour) 36mg but will start on 54mg after i finish these. I am also taking Busporine(generic for Buspar) twice a day at 5mg but it is soo ridiculous! I really need to a higher doseage. I'm an adult not a baby lol. 5mg does NOTHING for me twice a day. I still feel anxious. It should help me some i think if i have the right doseage. Concerta seems like a great one. How is adderall? isnt it a higher stimulant than concerta? anyone like that? does it help?

I am taking Strattera and she bumped me up to this week to 80mg per week and still nothing and so the other day when I had appointment to see her she also added Dextroamphetamine of 10mg per day I could take as needed for my studies of college so this is day 1 of taking this along with 80mg of Strattera and STILL NOTHING...

She was saying that she will bump me up to 120mg the max for me next week and see if this does anything or even shows any sign but it has only been 4 weeks now and takes around 6 to 8 weeks to get full effect she says for strattera.

Any advice would be greatly appreacited.

I have tried concerta, addreall xr, addreall, foclain,dexstrose spanules and now these 2 since November and just gets to be a bummer when another year of college has passed me by and still cant find any meds that will work for my focusing, reading comprehension, studying for test and the college stuff is what I need this for. I would like to know when I read what I read and even sitting in church and all the distractions I feel so bad for not understanding each Sunday what the serman was all about as my mind just wonders everyone to every little noise.
