Since I'm on strattera right now I might try adding a SSRI to it and then see what happens. But even if this combo worked then I couldnt really tell wether it's the SSRI or strattera or both in combination which work.
So far I only know that lexapro 20mg for several months definitely didn't work for me at all. But it could be different with another SSRI.
But prozac and fluvoxamine are no options cause of interactions. This means only zoloft is left, and maybe brintellix but this is too new and who knows how safe it really is.It's really complicated somehow.
Even if SSRI + strattera helped with depression but not adhd then it would also suck cause I dont know if I could add ritalin to the mix. This could be too much.If SSRI + strattera should not work then I could switch to nortriptyline. But then I also dont know if I could add ritalin. I only know that TCA can interfere with Ritalin metabolism and raise blood levels which can also be risky.
It's really complicated when you have as many different issues as I have. And unless any antidepressant which I take makes a really huge difference in how I feel I may not even be able to tell if it works at all. Maybe some of the ADs which I have been on "worked" but they were simply so weak that they couldn't prevent me from still getting depressed. But then they're also not helpful at all.
