In reply to PStims and Anxiety/BPII?????? Help!!!, posted by jay on March 26, 2002, at 9:37:55
> OK...am going to docs this afternoon. It seems Ritalin is not the best choice....and I have HORRID problems with Anxiety and Irritability from BPII. BUT, if say Dex or Adderall where to help, what would I be best at looking at going with? Would it be counter-productive to take with my Zyprexa? I also take 150mg's of Effexor XR.

> JayHi Jay,
I haven't tried Ritalin, but have tried nortriptyline, desipramine, Wellbutrin, Adderall, and Dexedrine for ADHD symptoms, and either dexedrine or nortriptyline were the easiest for me to tolerate as far as anxiety goes. I had the best focus with Adderall or desipramine however, but they made me way too uptight. The Wellbutrin also made me too anxious *and* angry. I had a good response with Risperdal+Adderall previously, but I *can't* tolerate AP's. So, if you can tolerate your Zyprexa this might be a good add-on. Watch out with adding a pstim to an AD. Just be careful. I got this synergistic !zang! from combining a little Celexa with a little dexedrine.
