I'm on Adderall 20 ER 2× a day.i also take Vyybrid with breakfast 40 mg a day. I still feel sad when I wake up. Later in the day, & sluggish. I WANT to do so much. But I FEEL like it's impossible 😔. Very frustrating. Im nervous to leave my house. I KNOW the meds. Are helpful. But I don't believe I am where I should be. Emotionally & phisically. I have a LOT of responsibility. & This stuff in me is making me feel hopeless ( but I'm still hope ful) if that makes sense. I've put weight on , I used to exercise allot now, not much at all.

🐙QU. HAS ANYONE had simmilar? Is there a better anti- depressant For me? Just curious if anyone has any thoughts....

I taken ritaline

People with adhd have a rollercoaster from sad feel depressed

A anti depressant I don't know I can not taken it

But I know a lot off people that mix a stimulant with ye serogeul or something low doses

Off course

I taken my stimulant if I leave the house and focus not if I in the house than is not good for me or I must be busy

You kind of just described my life at the moment. I’m losing hope that I’ll be able to have a somewhat normal life that I’m not too embarrassed to share with any new people. My best friend has always been like this too but I’m so happy for her because she’s turned her life around over the past and she’s doing so well. You can see how happy she is and that definitely gives me hope because she was laid off from her job, she had struggled with her weight our whole life, she was too insecure to date, she isolated herself a lot, her dad committed suicide, her dog unexpectedly passed, and a year or two later she’s better than ever. The most significant thing she changed was her diet. She did some program called optavia or something? I think this is what I’m going to attempt next and hope that it works.

I've done everything I physically could & took the right vitamins, exercised 2-4 hrs a day everyday, meditated everyday,looked Amazing! But mentally everything was not well, I tried everything I could before going back on a stimulant. After 10 yrs. I had to. I went through a yr of finding the right med. Now summer is almost over ,I've found a " decent med." That helps, & been taking consistent amount for a couple months. Kids go back to school next WK. I want to start school. But haven't even been able to make a f...... List, ya' know of positive & what not. & I have notebooks in every rm staring at me, brand new ( cause they R more inviting that way) I'm doing better vveerryy slowly. I'm happy your best friend is motivated & that's a positive for you & her 😁. Sadly mine past from an OD. 8/ 9 yrs ago & Others have to 😔. What makes it worse is I have strong trust issues. Those I trusted are gone or I found through time their chaos made me worse & messed up good things in my life.

My kids are my light, they keep my heart beating, & are everything beautiful ❤️ in my life. I'm grateful 4 them everyday. no matter what , I have unconditional love for them. & I see / feel them for me.

Hopefully I'll get on track when kids start school I'll start exercising again , eating healthy, I'm hopeful that will start a fire inside to motivate me making Ness. Calls & starting school ( GED) . Wow I guess I had allot to say. Thanks for sharing.

Google “ketamine infusions for depression.” I’m about to start doing them because the success rate for treating depression looks extremely promising.
