Who takes stimulants for ADD and/or antidepressants?
by laughingman, Mar 02, 2008 05:39PM
I have ADD and moderate/major depression and was wondering if there are others out there with these problems and if so what medications are you taking that help. Ritalin makes me nuts but adderall worked for me better with a little less side effects. Still stimulants makes my already high anxiety worse but still I do think I need them. Is there some kind of balance with other meds that would allow me to take stimulants without feeling so anxious?

Celexa can be taken at night and is rather safe.

Well I am taking Lexapro now which is based on Celexa I believe. I still find myself reaching for words and not being able to slow down my thoughts to get them out of my mouth half the time.
