In reply to doing bad off stimulants, posted by rjlockhart on March 5, 2007, at 22:36:14
I say DEFINATELY tell your doctor how you feel off vs on stimulants, and about the household "no stimulants" rule, and see what Dr. says. Those are important issues for the doctor to know about in order to be able to effectively help you. He or she might have some ideas on how to handle the situation at home, or perhaps even decide to do something a little sneaky-but totally legit- like switch you to a different antidepressent, such as wellbutrin, which can have some similar effects to stimulants-such as being energizing and helping with focus-but which wouldn't be likely to upset your mom in the same way. It's an antidepressent, after all-and a pretty good one in my estimation.
> Well i know that i cant do anything about it right now, because its just not going to happen if my mom knows im on a stimulant, its a house hold rule "no stimulants" because obviously i started to abuse the last 3 years, over the 10 years i was on adderall. If i stay here, which right now, i cant move out, dont have money.
