Adderall and Zoloft

[Kates314]

Hi Everyone! I just discovered this website today and am so happy! I just found out I have ADD a few months ago and am very new to all this. I was so happy to hear that there was a reason for the way I am and that there are so many other people out there just like me!!! Anyway, I do have a question. I've been on zoloft for about a year now, 50mg. But I was always still depressed. I saw a new doctor who discovered my ADD and has put me on diffrent dosages of Adderall for the past few months and now Adderall XR 25mg. It seems to be working so far..its hard to tell at times. But slo because of my deoression he raised the zoloft to 100mg and now 150mg a month later. So I'm taking 150mg of zoloft and 25mg of adderall XR. Is anyone taking these two meds at the same time?? I've been having trouble sleeping, I feel nausea a lot. Is this normal??? Does anyone know some side effects of taking both??? I've just been feeling sick alot and I'm not sure if its normal. Thanks so much! Katie

I was on Z for a couple of years before I was diagnosed (don't remember the dose). Same thing with me--it seemed to be be the best happy pill out of the ones I'd tried, but I'd still be depressed.

Just this Monday I asked my doc to take me off Lexapro (was on Celexa before that) and put me back on Z, which he did. C and L just never seemed to cut it, and since I remember doing fairly well with Z, I wanted to try it again. Now I take 40mg AdderallXR in the am, along with my titration to 10mg Lexapro (did I use 'titrate' correctly?) and started back on 25mg of Z, to be increased to 50 mg on day 8. I don't think I'm having any side effects from those two drugs, but he also changed my anxiety meds from Neurontin (off-label use for anxiety) to Klonopin (sp?). So right now I'm lowering Neurontin at the same time I've added Klonopin, and let me just say I feel really funky--and funky is an understatement! Y'all can call me a Drug Cocktail right now!!
