Sarah1230 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I've been on Adderall xr for over two years now for adhd and bipolar depression.it has been my saving grace. completely turned my life around. over the last month I slowly started to feel like it wasn't really kicking in. a few days ago it just stopped working completely and withdrawal set in hard core. my pdoc took me off of it and prescribed nuvigil which literally did nothing but make me dizzy. before Adderall I was tried concerta, Ritalin, and vyvanse with no positive improvement. I'm really starting to lose my mind and I'm afraid I'm going to lose my job. can anyone think of another amphetamine I can try? any input would be greatly appreciated! thank you for taking the time to read this.

upset.the.world Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I know how that is. Every time I had to quit a longtime prescription, I'd start worrying that I'd run out of pills that would work for me. It took me years to get out of that mindset. I'm not going to say finding the right meds is easy, much less the idea of having to find the 'right meds' all over again, but I can say that my fears of running out of pills that work, when put to the test, were proved wrong every time. Work with your doctors. Keep trying until you find a new fit. It's hard now, but it'll be worth it when you get to that point. Hang in there. We're rooting for you!

Velvet Elvis Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Have you tried Wellbutrin and Strattera? It's more likely that you have a depressive episode coming on or something has changed in your brain than it is that the Adderall just stopped working. Once whatever that is passes is should work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
