In reply to Regular doc thinks ADHD..., posted by sheilac on July 23, 2012, at 15:24:32
i had a doc who told me anxiety is a sign of toxicity (taking too much) in the case of amphetamines. So taking more after complaining of anxiety with Adderall is pretty backwards.
> Saw my regular doc today and everytime the subject comes up about my depression and then irritability she insists that it is ADHD. I told her that Adderall gave me anxiety. She said I just needed a higher dose. She also said I should take 100mg of Zoloft a day to help with the depression and anxiety.
>
> I told her the other doc suggested Lithium along with the Adderall. But she really doesn't think I am bipolar. She does think that I have issues with anxiety, depression and focus and attention.
>
> I don't know what to think. Maybe 100mg of Zoloft could take the place of 4mg of Klonopin - I mean, how much Klonopin can a person take?!
>
> But, I am afraid to stop the 600mg of Lithium at this point. I will add back the low dose Adderall and Zoloft.
>
> Maybe Zoloft really will work for depression and anxiety?

> Will Zoloft be bad with Adderll?
