I have thought about trying a stimulant, but how in the world would I be able to handle it with panic attacks. Stimulants really are the only thing that gets me up and going and that in turn helps lift the depression! But I have tried Wellbutrin and Prozac and was to much stimulation. So is Ritalin or Adderall different? Hey I am just trying to help myself here as I can't afford my pdoc anymore and I have a pretty good doctor that is willing to help me. Thanks GloriaGloria- Yes, I am taking Ritalin, have been for
about a month. I'm sorry that I can't really tell
you if/how much it helps because the Celexa I'm
taking has lost some of it's effectiveness. Sometimes
it's difficult to realize which med is doing what.
I think it is helping a bit, though I find it to be
very subtle and I do not get a 'wired' effect from
it.I can't answer your concern about stimulants affecting
your panic attacks. Do you take meds for the
panic attacks?My best to you
