Adderall has saved my life as far as adult ADHD is concerned, but I have the constant need to yawn. It's like I can't get them out and even when I do, there is no relief.
I want to keep taking this med, but I might have to switch if I can't figure this out.
Anyone with me on this?

My jaw hurts. And my chest.
And no one wants to go to the movies with the Yawning Bandit! =)
What is an SSRI?

Anything that increase dopamine activity has the potential to make you yawn... part of the testing for antidopaminergic activity in animal tests involves the ability to suppress apomorphine-induced yawning.

Can you explain further? That's intereesting. What are the mechanisms etc?
I take dex and I don't yawn. But the brief time I tried celexa, I yawned a lot.
Isn't yawning the body's way of trying to get more oxygen? So if stims are stimulators of respiration, why does the body need to compensat byu yawning?
