I have been using Zoloft and Adderall combined. The Zoloft makes me so tired and I have a hard time concentrating. The Adderall helps counteract the effects of the Zoloft. I only take 50 mg of Zoloft and 10 mg of Adderall. Getting a doctor to give you a scrip for Adderall is next to impossible.. Alot of concern that I will be addicted to it.
