What was this thread about?....oh yeah ADHD...support group? 😅

I just read that today! I wonder if it’s the generic as well as the brand name.
I think it’s all of it. I know several people who are having trouble getting prescriptions filled & none are brand name, I don’t think.
 
Guys I still haven't been able to fill my prescription 😭
Oh no, that sucks!!! How long has it been? I haven't tried to fill mine due to inadvertently going off my main antidepressant and feeling a ton better.
 
if you don’t mind me asking: which antidepressant? I take Cymbalta myself, along with Buspar and Adderall.
I was in Effexor. Idk what class Cymbalta is, but I personally can’t take SSRIs. They just make me sleep constantly and that makes me feel worse. Effexor is an SNRI and that still made me more tired than I liked but not as bad.

Now I’m just on Wellbutrin (bupropion), which I think works on norepinephrine and dopamine, which makes sense to me for ADHD. (Not a doctor though, of course!)

Cymbalta is an SNRI as well. Wellbutrin was the first one I tried after Celexa stopped working for me. Turns out it’s one of the few things I’m actually allergic to!☹️
 
didnt you get...sick?
I definitely got sick from stopping Effexor without tapering... Highly do NOT recommend. It was just a matter of not getting to refill my prescription, then by the time I could, realizing that while I felt physically crappy still, I felt a lot better mentally.

But I think Diosax is talking about Adderall, which has a very short half life in the body, like of a few hours or a day. Missing it or just not taking it for awhile doesn't cause any bad effects. It's bad for antidepressants because they build up in your system.
