I'm taking ritalin and it's different now.I've cut back from 30mgs. a day to 5mgs.Initially it was great.I felt so calm and my attention span greatly improved.Now it makes me nervous and aggressive and am now on Ativan for panic attacks.My blood pressure is up and my heart races easily.Im weaning off it and am considering taking wellbutrin(I have ADD and have suffered with depression and fatigue most of my life.)Can I take wellbutrin and suppliment with Ritalin when I want to read? What about the Ativan? Is it safe to take it if I have a panic attack while I'm on Wellbutrin? Before the ritalin I tried dexedrine(became depressed-agitated)and Seligine(senses went in overdrive-very aggressive and jumpy)Alertec(felt like to much coffee-cranky)Klonopin(glum and too drowsy)xanax(still had panic and anxiety). Ativan under my tounge stops a panic attack in the making.Iknow when I'm going to have one-first my glands under my chin swell and my throat feels like its closing.The best drug I ever took was endocet.(and that was 4 years ago.To hard to get in Canada.)For the first time in my life I had energy and I was happy and social.Is there a med that works like endocet that a psychiatrist can prescribe?(I suffer from social phobia too-I do not socialize outside of my family and I have no friends.Sorry for the long post-its my first.I would really appreciate any advice.Thank you.
