Kyle_Chaos Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm REALLY struggling with post-adderally depression the past few weeks, I'm really wondering when this black cloud is going to go away. I'm thinking of trying to get on an anti-depressant until some of this subsides, I don't want something that changes me completely, just something to help me out for a little bit until my dopamine gets back up and running. any suggestions?

jennablu Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I had luck with Lexapro pre-add's. It was mostly for anxiety and I stopped taking it about 6 years ago - but it worked. I started taking Sam-E and L-Tyrosine per advise on this board about a week ago and I have already seen really good results. Good luck!

ashley6 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Lexapro has helped me. I've heard of Wellbutrin helping a lot with those quitting adderall, and it doesn't make you tired...actually wakes you up, but not addictive. It kills the desire to smoke too...did for me, at least.

Evie25 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Lexapro-couldn't have quit adderall without it. Tried quitting before and would get very depressed, didn't want to get out of bed. Lexapro lifted that cloud so I could function. You still feel like yourself on it and it's not hard to stop, so I think it's relatively safe in that aspect.

sky Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Wellbutrin is totally some sort of upper... It makes you thirsty, you lose your appetite just like on adderall, especially at first. I did like it though, made me chill the f out and relax a lot of my -ism's. Also, didn't mess with my stomach, which was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle_Chaos Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I've been on Lexapro before, I might get on that for a little bit. it did make me feel stupid, but I found nearly everything hilarious and it was a nice break from being so serious and awkward all the time. I've tried wellbutrin before, and it honestly just made me feel REALLY strange (it could be because I didn't have a dopamine deficiency at the time and now I do..)
