Did the anger side effects stop? I am asking because my son is on Adderall XR 25mg/day and has been on it since the beginning of the summer. He has been slowly but surely getting angrier, more violent, manipulative, lying, et cetera. I am wondering if he should balance it with an AD- either Wellbutrin or something else. His dignoses have been ADHD with Depression, with ODD, Gender Identity Disorder and Depression, depending who we ask ! Is it so very frightening. And I was just reading the other day that these symptons can lead to adult bipolar.
I am unipolar with GAD myself. The genetics seem to be my fault, but the more I find out about my son's prognosis, the harder my meds have to struggle to keep ME balanced !!

Feel like I'm going to implode- or spontaneously combust or something.

Can anyone help?

> Well, I have stayed on the Wellbutrin but it did not help my seasonal affective disorder, so I went back on Lexapro. I am currently on Lexapro 10mg./day, Wellbutrin SR 200 mg./day, and Adderall 50 mg./day and I can concur with others have said about the SSRI's. On just the Wellbutrin and Adderall, I could eat a good amount most of the time. Now, having added Lexapro, my appetite has almost diminished...Maybe because one of the common side-effects of S.A.D. is that you tend to crave a lot of carbs, etc., which I do anyway--even in the summer! haha! Anyway, I am feeling much better emotionally on the Lexapro, and when I took it in the past I thought it had upped my appetite at that time & went off of it (I have suffered from Eating disorders as well), but in retrospect it could have been anything. It's ironic that now I basically have no appetite while on it. Maybe it's the Wellbutrin? All I know is that this is working for me right now, and I'll stick with that!! Good luck all :)
