In reply to HELP ME I FEEL LIKE IM DYING!!!!!!!, posted by jturner795 on May 16, 2003, at 11:52:12
> Long story short...welbutrin for two years (400mg) per day, Last fall re-diag. ADD. Got on adderall and turned my life around. Welbutrin-Adderall combo was too much, fits of paranoia ect. Went to Stratera, didnt do crap for me. Went back on Adderall started Effexor xr. (psydoc told me NOTHING about the side effects, on the same dose now for a couple of months and my concentration is in the gutter, my stomach hurts all the time, Im starting to gain weight back, and just generally feel like crap! I talked with my counselor yesterday and described some very real symptoms of bi-polar disorder that Ive always had and she told me not to worry about it!! This is my first post, but have been comming to the sight for awhile, I have lots of respect for your opinions, Please help!!!, Thanks, Jared
So, your last change was adding Effexor to just Adderall, right? Why did the Effexor get added? It sounds like it might be worthwhile to suggest a backpeddle and taper off the Effexor (or at least reduce the dosage if you are on a high dose) and see what happens-see if you start getting better. You need to tell your pdoc about the "bipolar symptoms", though.
