Sorry if I made you feel bad. Ugh, I just realized I was being insensitive and you are going through a really rough time. Sorry!
I had a buddy die from a heart attack on Adderall. So, I am biased.
Maybe you could ask your p doc if he thought something like wellbutrin would be ok. No drug is perfect but I just feel like wellbutrin would be a safer alternative to adderall in the long run. plus it has a much longer half life. It should work synergistically with lexapro.
I am just one that believes that most of us with ADD/ADHD are really suffering from anxiety and depression and the ADD/ADHD is just one of many symptoms manifesting from our depression/anxiety. If the depression/anxiety is properly treated and other measures are taken, there will be no need for such stimulants as Adderall. Again, JMHO
I'm not some crazy conspiracy theorist, but you do have to wonder what these drug companies are thinking behind the scenes. You also have to wonder how the hell this country ever became what it was or how this world ever exploded into what it is now without all of these stimulant drugs and antidepressants. Are we creating a world where there is more of a need for medication or was that need there always?
