Blueberry...Adderall XR is a great drug...I have been reviewing my 20+ years of TRD treatment and the only time, other than MAO's, I had any relief was when I took Wellbutrin, Celexa and Adderall. But it was the Adderall that I think was the key ingredient, not the other meds.
Now I'm sorry I didn't review all that earlier because I have lost another year to this awful disease, which continues to keep me from being a normal, functioning person.
I get so upset when I hear about others finding the right drug sooner and then being able to return to their lives with almost no time lost and no jobs lost...it's not fair...and it can be so easy to correct but so many doctors are missing it, the ADD connection is what I think I have, where I need more dopamine.
And I have given my pdoc the benefit of the doubt, it is just so sad that there are such difference in how somweone is treated. I lost most of my years on SSRI's, which I realize was horrible, but I kept thinking I was better but I wasn't, just numb!
Sorry for the rant, I know you have had a really hard time finding something that works too. But the thing I wanted to impress upon you is that ADDERALL can be the one that will work for you!
I need to bring this up again since the EMSAM/amphet mix isn't doing as much as I had hoped...I think I have to give it a little longer, but I wish I was able to try ADDERALL NOW, rather than later. Plus I took it with Wellbutrin which I also think is a good combination, if you need something else.
