I started taking adderall last week, 5 mg/3 times a day. I'm up to 7.5 mg/3 times a day and now I've been feeling more scattered, depressed, and hopeless than before.There are other factors to consider: I went off birth control last month (and therefore was psming until yesterday), I've been weaning off Elavil (down to 5 mg. for the past week), I had a migraine all weekend (which makes me depressed and tired), and yesterday I realized that the loss of two jobs early this year has finally caught up with me and I'm barely going to be able to pay my rent this month.
I'm also on Wellbutrin and Lamictal. I've had my down days on them but have mostly been ok and even occasionally motivated.
Sorry for the length but there are just so many things at play. I can't go to my psychiatrist yet because of the money situation and don't know what to do -- do I stay on the adderall until I reach the recommended dosage (it was a script from a neurologist, btw, for fatigue)? Or do I quit right away because it's the most likely cause of my sudden crash?
Thanks everyone...
