Thank you!!!! I am getting back on Prozac but this time with my adderall. I’m nervous about the combo. I was on Prozac alone for 5 years and had success (with my depression and ocd) though so am hoping I have success with them together.
Thank you for sharing your story! I really relate to the “having a bunch of tabs open in your brain” thing. I keep getting tiktoks about ADHD too 🤨 you have inspired me to pursue a diagnosis!
Thank you for watching :) yes it is such an annoying feeling haha!! Best of luck with pursuing a diagnosis, I hope that you are able to find clarity :D
Thank you for sharing, I can’t find any men sharing their experience with anxiety depression and adhd but I relate to this a lot, this has been so much help!
I relate as well! I go to a therapist and have been using one for the past few years especially with my anxiety and depression. I was thinking about getting meds so it’s really good to hear your perspective and opinion because I get scared of the negative effects.
That’s so awesome, I bet that has been so helpful. I made sure to find a doctor that I could contact easily because I was also nervous about side effects - usually I message her on the website and she’ll reply that day which is super nice.
@@SoniaElsie that’s great to know! I get nervous about the side effects too so I’ll make sure I can message a psychologist that will respond to me. I don’t think I can get medication from a therapist
Yea Therapists don’t prescribe medication but they can definitely help you work through things without medication or refer you to a psychiatrist to get medication 😄❤️ the current online doctors offices that I go through are called Circle Medical & One Medical. They both have apps with really great messaging systems.
I'm in my 30's now, and have been struggling with crippling depression and anxiety since I was a teenager. After my already shitty life fell apart even further a few weeks ago, I've finally decided to schedule a psychiatric evaluation... something my doctors and family have begged me to do for 20 years. I'm terrified to go. I hate talking about myself. I don't trust anyone, especially strangers. I've been worried about how prospective medication might interact with my body and my existing medication. This has encouraged me to try and chill the fuck out... at least for tonight. My mind has been racing and hitting constant blocks/unknowns for the past several days. Something you said that really hit home was "the waiting period." This is something I have struggled with my entire adult life. If I have anything scheduled at any time in the day, like a dr appointment. I cannot do anything before it. I cannot focus on anything or enjoy anything. I essentially sit there and think about that upcoming appointment, until it arrives. If Adderall helped with even just that issue, I'm feeling some kind of mild optimism that maybe ADHD is what I have, and maybe these drogas can help my other issues, like the sweaty armpits I'm getting just from typing this. Anyone, thanks for the video. I'm almost thinking of making videos myself of what I've struggled with for the past 20 years, and my attempt to finally get through it... but asking someone (ie: myself) who's already suffering from crippling anxiety to do that is a bit rich.
The best ADD-friendly book I've found about home organization is Unf*ck Your Habitat by Rachel Hoffman. It's not just for people with ADD, but for anyone for whom other books on the subject have failed.
I’m sorry to hear that Ruben, that’s tough. I hope you’re able to talk to a mental health professional soon, it helped me a lot. Let me know if you have any questions :)
Hey Sonia. I was wondering how the medication was going. Thanks so much for sharing. I'll give you an update on my story in a while when there are fewer eyes on this page. Of course everyone is different, but the best organizational tool I've found is a large dry-erase board, one with a marker holder on the bottom. If I get a random thought that I don't want to forget I can write it down quickly and come back to it later. Also I write down priorities of how to spend my time, so if I find myself getting sidetracked, which is you know, constantly, I can quickly look at board to remind myself what I'm doing. I use red ink for the most urgent things, but you do you.
Thank you for watching! Those are some really good tips. Time prioritizing is so hard for me as well even with medication so that is super helpful :) hope you are doing well and thanks for sharing!
I'm wondering why your Doctor prescribed Prosac. Prosac is a very old antidepressant that has a lot of side effects. I think it first came out in the 1980s. There are much better antidepressants available nowadays which have less negative side effects. You might try switching to something like generic Cymbalta, for example.
I was interested in this combination,can you share your experience mixing the two,i have just started prozac alone ,and this is already doing wonders for me
@@MissionTapasya hi, the combination worked well for me! The prozac kinda made me tired, so the aderall was great for keeping me awake and alert. I stopped taking the prozac tho just cuz I think I dont really need it anymore.
@@nathanvanzandt9270 thats great Do you think you are building tolerance to aderall Because i have heard overtime it wont be as effective,as would be initially
I would love more videos about this. I've been thinking about going on medication. I smoke weed, so stopping that would be hard. I'm seeing a substance abuse therapist now
Thank you so much for watching, I will definitely make more videos about this. That is amazing that you are seeing a therapist for that, best of luck with your journey :,)
Well I recently diagnosed with ADHD(1 Week back 🤦🏻♂️) and I am 27 .. Now my doctor prescribed sertraline (at night) - antide represent+ methylphenidate(day) ADHD med so kind of scared to take both ,today is my 1st day ,So I wish My brain 🧠 will still fiction after taking all these neuro stimulant drugs 😅
Do you have an update on this I'm terrified to be treated because many doctors have been acting like you treat either adhd or depression but I'm concerned about treating ignoring one issue and not the other
Thank you for reminding me I should definitely make an update! Honestly most doctors will treat one at a time at least in my experience, which can be frustrating but it’s important to update your doctor / psychiatrist on all your symptoms and if you’re working with multiple to keep them all in the loop. If you feel ignored / dismissed or disrespected by a doctor it’s okay to find a new one if possible. When looking for a psychiatrist I was looking for one who specialized in treating ADHD, depression & anxiety (and for my own comfort / peace of mind I prefer to be treated by a POC & female presenting doctor). If you have the option to message your doctor always keep them in the loop when symptoms change!!
Thank you for sharing ! My doc just put me on 10mg Lexapro and I am so nauseated I wanna stop honestly . I’m not depressed but I guess she thinks I have a little anxiety lol . I am also on 90mg IR Adderall and it’s the oddest thing , I can take it and I have no problem eating,sleeping, nothing . My cousin takes 10mg and will be up all night cleaning her house … just weird 😫😂
I’ve been on stimulants for 2 years now and just started take 10mg of Prozac and my Vyvanse stopped working completely. I think the Prozac makes stimulants stop working
@@mad_juiceruch270 is the Prozac helping at all ? I tried Vyvanse and it made my stomach hurt and made me have nightmares . I heard about Modafinil and somebody also suggested to try Dexedrine if Adderall and stuff wasn’t doing anything . Something about the way it metabolizes thru something called CYP2D6 , some people are just ultra rapid metabolizers ( sorry I’m the most horrible explainer ever , it legit made sense in my head 😂😂)
Thank You 🤗💜 Edit: Take it with food heavy, the medication will absorb in the fat and you won’t feel like a crackhead lol. Keep Larabars on hand it’s healthy fats as well.
I keep going to people looking for an adhd diagnosis but these professionals skirt around this. Im like look I am 37 I think I have a pretty good idea about how my life is going and is most likely. Dont a lot of research into the different mental and personalities disorders to have narrowed it down mk.
So i have been on adderall for about 6 months and prozac for a week. I wanted something to manage my anxiety bursts that are closer to panic dissorder than generalized anxiety that had gotten worse due to the adderall and was beginning to affect my daily life. But my psychiatrist is really pushing SSRI's instead of regular anxiety meds (which have worked for me in the past) and its ROUGH. keep getting told its gonna get better but i haven't slept or felt comfortable for days and last night Had a rage event i havent had in over 20 years. Told my dr and he gave me a script for antihistamines..... and then to keep taking prozac.....wtf. So now i am angry all the time and either my dr is right and one day a switch will flip and i won't continue everyday to feel worse and angrier than the last and will feel good not like i want to burn down my house. frankly I'm beginning to think it just Isn't worth it and should just find a street dealer of xanax to deal with those short burst anxiety when they pop up and not be worried about actually hurting someone because my meds make me feel like I'm losing my mind. possible seratonin syndrome symptoms
