In reply to adderall/suicide...please help, posted by tmalicia on July 27, 2006, at 11:56:35
my heart goes out to you...
I have been on many medications for most of my life- most of which were ssri's. This year I tried abilify & adderall for the first time. One of which (or both?) pushed me into a deep biochemical agitated depression that I had never known. I ended up in the hospital, crying even when they would take my pulse- because I didn't want to have a pulse.
Adderall originally gave me some euphoric days, but it was not consistent or long-lasting. It's hard to say whether or not it was what set me "off," but I don't dare try it again.
A wonderful psychiatrist has had me on Cymbalta since then. I have greatly improved, although I still have miles to go.
I have the opposite reaction to birth control - I will never take them again. They give me pms x 10. But my guess is that for you they may help. It might be a good idea to go back on them & then access the adderall.
Hang in there, it will get better!
