Lately, i have been feeling more and more like myself when i’m off my adderall it i’m kinda just noticing the negative effects it has on me. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age, I am now a 27 year old female and got on adderall 2 years ago due to my ADHD being very hard to navigate. I have tried all the different forms of adderall from XR to IR. I feel like i am a raging bitch when i’m on it, the mood swings are horrible, the light is sucked out of me, my anxiety elevated, no want to don’t favorite things, and just like there is rain cloud over me. I also noticed it makes me feel like a robot and like my true outgoing personality is completely masked. My anxiety got so bad and i started to feel depressed so i decided to start prozac which i will say completely changed my life. I am now week 5 on prozac and no adderall and i have felt better than i ever have before. However, i still am having an extremely hard time managing my ADHD without being medicated.
Has anyone else ever dealt with this before? Is there a different ADHD medication I should ask my doctor about? I just hate the way adderall makes me feel and i don’t think I can ever bring myself to get back on it because of how good i feel right now.
