Hello!
I have always had anxiety and ocd, since childhood.
I have also always been pessimistic and easily gave up on things. I have a very low stress tolerance.
Now due to personal problems and health problems I have also become more and more depressed.
I feel like this is getting out of my hands. I mean I don't want to be depressed but I simply am.
I also tried psychotherapy but it was totally useless and disappointing.
I would say that right now depression is the biggest issue. OCD is also present but it's not that debilitating. Anxiety is also a problem.I dont know if prozac would work when 20mg lexapro did nothing.
I wish I at least knew what kinds of neurotransmitters I need to hit!I know that there are also MAOI but with my anxiety I don't think I could take them. I would live in fear all the time of eating something wrong. I also dont know if I could live that way and not eat a lot of things which I like to eat, like bacon. Maybe this would feel like being in prison.
When I was on anafranil I couldnt take ritalin. My doc said it's not safe and I totally missed the ritalin. I couldnt really deal with not being able to take it when I want it.
I have been diagnosed with possible ADD in 2012.
I have some symptoms of ADHD but not all. I am hypoactive. I'm really not sure if I have it or not. I only know that I have many debilitating symptoms which sound like ADD. Since ritalin doesnt work I wanted to try amphetamines. But then I found this here:http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/adderall-with-cymbalta-190-1645-949-2273.html

This is VERY scary!
Obviously you can get serotonin syndrome from SSRI + amphetamines.
