I just started taking this medication 3 days ago. I have a history of depression and recently diagnosed with AdultADD. I did begin to notice a lil less procrastination more motivated to do at least 1 task. My moods have been upbeat more often. I smoke cannabis so my urge for that has decreased.

I just started 4 days ago and day 2 I started getting head aches and some nausea. Not sure if that is normal or not.

I'm currently taking 450mg. Each increase in dosage was beneficial for about a week, but then I'd hit a plateau. 450 seemed to be the right dose for about 3 weeks, but I've been on this dose for 8 weeks now and feel like the cons are starting to outweigh the pros. I'm not as focused anymore, in fact I've began to have more apathy. My depression hasn't really been helped and ... Show Full Comment

I'm currently taking 450mg. Each increase in dosage was beneficial for about a week, but then I'd hit a plateau. 450 seemed to be the right dose for about 3 weeks, but I've been on this dose for 8 weeks now and feel like the cons are starting to outweigh the pros. I'm not as focused anymore, in fact I've began to have more apathy. My depression hasn't really been helped and I have emotional panic attacks now and then, especially if I drink alcohol-which I was told was the equivalent to completely skipping a dose..makes sense. I've lost 5 lbs, and I'm not binge eating when I feel low, but now I'm obsessed with the weight loss and feel like that's equally problematic. I am less impulsive, but now I seem more obsessive than normal. I've had multiple surgeries in the past 2 years and I was developing a narcotic addiction, within 2 days of taking this medication that craving went completely away, but my ruminating thoughts are increasing again and the impulse to take a pill for no reason but to feel numb is coming back. I take this along with Lamictal, I've been on Lamictal for 3 years, but it wasn't helping with my depression that I cycle with every 6 weeks. I'm ready to get off of this medication, especially since I notice an increase of negative behavior during my menstrual cycle and I'm a week away from another one.

This medication ruined my life while I was on it. I was even more depressed. I was in a catatonic state of just being. I suffered dozens of panic attacks in a day. I nearly admitted myself to the hospital for my depression. I was just so tired. So complacent and "blah". I even had to call into work a few times due to just not being able to get up out of bed. Even getting myself up to tak ... Show Full Comment

I nearly admitted myself to the hospital for my depression. I was just so tired. So complacent and "blah". I even had to call into work a few times due to just not being able to get up out of bed. Even getting myself up to take a shower was hard. Maybe this would help someone else, but for me and my biology, it just made everything worse.
