In reply to Adderall XR - help, anyone?, posted by lemon68 on October 10, 2005, at 22:35:18
It helped my depression very much. I was taking 30 mg. When I have the money I will be taking it again. I think I took it for 4 months and then it was removed from the Canadian market ... but now it's back!!! I just need to get a job to pay for it. Ritalin and Dexedrine make my depression work. But Adderall XR was a life saver.

> Hi, I was wondering if anyone with Adderall XR experience, especially long term, would let me know how they fared on it. I am starting it tomorrow ( 10 mg once in the A.M.) and I'm a bit apprehensive.
>
> I have been on Wellbutrin SR ( 200 mg in a.m.) and Lexapro ( 10 mg, down to 5 mg, down to 2.5 mg at night) for the past few months, and I've really turned into a slug. I'm not depressed, but definitely apathetic and unmotivated. My doc thought the Wellb. would do something for my ADD ( which I have along w/ depression), but I can't say it has.

> I have high hopes for Adderall, as I've read some positive stuff about it ( especially in regards to its adjunctive antidepressant qualities), but hey, it's basically pharmaceutical speed, so I am a bit more wary of it than other meds ( and I've tried most of them).
>
> Oh yeah, I also take 50-100 mg Trazodone and/or 10 mg Klonopin to sleep - I know that sounds vague, but my sleep has been effected strangely by the other 2 meds, and I am having difficulty figuring out what's helping me sleep and what's not...

> Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.
