So here I am, wondering why the Adderall seems not to be working..... Then my wife says, you seem depressed. So I go to the source of all things (The Internet) and do some research on Depression..... WOW, Looks as if I could be depressed! I got all the right stuff! However, when you look at the ADD, I got all the same stuff as well!

Is there any corolation (sp) between Serotonin uptake for both Depression and ADD inconjunction with Addreall????

Thanks in advance for your comments!

try a search on co-morbids. you may have hit the ADD jackpot ... ;*)

is adderol the first med you've tried?

Adderal made my axiety worse to the point it was depression, now I'm on Lexipro which really helps. I take ridalin for my ADD, low dose. :)

In all honesty.... No its not..... I first noticed that I could be normal when I was on Phen Phen. OMG what a wonderful drug it was for me at least from my ADD standpoint.

But, it went away and since then I was on Concerta, Stratera and none of those seemed to do much!

It's very common for depression to co-exist with AD/HD. If both are not addressed then yes stimulant can sometimes make the other co-existing condition like depression worse.

Thanks to all of you for replying.......... I have an appointment with the Doc on Friday and maybe I'll get it all worked out!

And forgive me in advance for my spelling......... When I looked over it, my eyes saw that it was wrong, but failed to inform my brain so that I could fix it!

I don't think anybody in this forum will ever comment on your spelling. This is a safe place where many of us make spelling and typing errors, myself included.
