In reply to amphetamines and ssris counteract each other???, posted by dcruik518 on February 22, 2009, at 20:39:54
Here's the post from above, I'm thinking of maybe switching from adderall to parnate. Thanks, D
> I've tried taking a number of ssri's with Adderall and none of them seem to work well. In fact they seem to counteract the stimulating effects of the adderall and make me apathetic and lazy. My theoretical explanation for this is that the SSRIs must compete for and win out some of the receptors that would normally go to the Adderall. Does this make any sense pharmacologically? Is what I'm experiencing typical or not? Does it even make any sense to take these two kinds of drugs together? Or would it make more sense to mix adderall with a tricyclic or perhaps even an MAOI?
