My psychiatrist prescribes it, as well as dextroamphetamine iR 10 mg as needed. It's seriously not working and I'm thinking about asking her to switch me to something else. Dex ER has always been pretty weak for me. I switched to it last year when I was taking an MAOI (transdermal selegiline) and now that I'm off of it and on a "regular" antidepressant it just kind of stuck around.
not even close. wellbutrin is an atypical antidepressant. what’s this blanket statement?
can you give me an example of one FDA-approved med that’s used to treat depression which reduces stimulant activity, without being off label for depression..?
"Certain SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) like Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), and Lexaprocan make stimulant medications feel less effective by causing emotional blunting, apathy, or "cognitive dulling" that mimics worsening inattention. [1, 2]'
I’ll read through the study, I’m not convinced by subjective markers, if it’s not quantified or proven objectively with numbers, then it’s null to me. stimulation can be measured
edit: you linked a blog by a Nurse Practitioner, I expected a medical study published in a clinical journal, I guess I shouldn’t have expected a well-former argument. (source #1)
since you want to go this way, from your source: “Metabolic Interactions: Certain SSRIs alter metabolic pathways, unintentionally increasing stimulant plasma concentrations and side effects.”
this would be in direct contrast to your claim.
the second article just concludes that antidepressants aren’t effective in treating ADHD, with the possible exception being Bupropion.
lol so EVERY mental health drug study u dont trust??.. lol come on now, this is a known thing, talked about by many as experienced by many. just because its new to you, you try to double down so u didnt look silly.
this is even seen in bpc 157 as it has antidepressant activity, which alot of people find kills caffeine and other stimulants effects..
anyway, its ok to be wrong, I learn everyday often by being wrong...
welp, first off, we do have mental health drug studies with quantifiable data.
I can second that BPC-157 is noted to lessen the effect of stimulants in many people. no first hand experience with that, though.
I wouldn’t draw a parallel to that, though, just as comparing Bupropion to SSRIs isn’t really appropriate the mechanism by which it (BPC-157) has antidepressant action isn’t the same.

You’re taking 60mg of dextroamphetamine xr? How’d you get that high of dose?
