Yeah, you do make sense .I do know what you're saying! Starting several new things at once makes it very difficult to sort out what is causing what! At least you know what the Adderall does...so maybe you're right..stick to that whilst you're waiting for the Lex side eff. to settle. Everyone's so different, my daughter adjusted to Celexa within days, so I hope you adjust to the the Lexapro as quickly! Then you can exchange Concerta for the Adderall. And you might just find that, once the Lex kicks in, that Adderall will work better too in the combination ????
I just tried Effexor 75mg (in addition to the Klonopin, cuz my GP was nervous about returning depression), but I felt so zombie-like during the 4 days I was taking it, I stopped again today!! (Gotta go to work).Already, I feel less lethargic. I was worried about continuing with it, only to have to change later, and then go through the seemingly terrible "discontinuation" Effexor is famous for!!
I like Klonopin, but still feel "flat" on it. So I'm hoping when I get to see the PDoc, he'll let me augment it with Provigil or something a little activating.
Isn't it all so frustrating.....we're just guinea pigs, doing our own personal clinical trials??????
Don't you wish you had the ability to write your own prescriptions? Sometimes, I'd just like to go ahead and try something without having to discuss and listen and convince a doctor!!!!! I know it's dangerous etc.etc.etc. But, aaagh, the delays and waiting!
Good luck, as always!
