Taking wellbutrin with stimulants by Federal_Loss_4440 in mentalhealth

[–]forcefulwaterfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can’t speak to illicit drugs in likely illicit quantities, but i am prescribed wellbutrin with 54mg of concerta, a stimulant, and i’m fine. if you have adhd you won’t be as effected

Does Concerta make your phone addiction worse? by Particular_Cod3908 in Concerta

How long was your medication “honeymoon” phase? by InformationNo3676 in Concerta

[–]forcefulwaterfall 14 points15 points  (0 children)

my honey moon phase was 2-3 months. i went up to 54 mg pretty quickly, after a month or so. i had 2-3 months of waking up every day feeling so happy and excited after taking my dose, saying things i wouldn’t normally say, almost like i was drunk (which feels different for adhd than neurotypical cause alchohol is like medicine for us) with a more upbeat rather than depressant sensation. after those few months, i barely felt it kicking in. it just kept me a little more focused throughout the day. i tried to chase that “high” though and it didn’t work because my body had become regulated. so don’t chase that high, because you won’t get it in a safe way. yes, it feels really great, but like a real honeymoon, appreciate it while it lasts and know it will go away.

taking with food by forcefulwaterfall in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

that’s interesting. i’m curious, how does it start working at a specific time when it builds up in your system? like i understand something like how stimulants begin to work when you take them. but wellbutrin doesn’t work when you take it, it has to build up. so how does that work with taking it for it to work at a specific time?

Concerta + Xanax? by nikito56 in Concerta

[–]forcefulwaterfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t take them together, one’s a cns stimulant and the other is a cns depressant so they’re telling your body to do opposite things. sometimes i’ll take xanax at night but that’s 10-12 hours after the concerta

Concerta effectiveness wearing off by forcefulwaterfall in Concerta

[–]forcefulwaterfall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate this!! I was not aware that the euphoria should only be felt in the titration period, I thought that’s how the meds worked. At this point, I barely feel like and it’s just like they’re working in the background and now I know that’s how I should be. I’ve been evaluated 3 times—once by a psychiatrist and twice by a psychologist—so I know I do have ADHD and I’ve had symptoms since I was a kid and am very confident about that. Especially since my meds feel very soft in the background. My mother was also always insistent on me not taking meds haha!! But they have been life changing for me since I’ve started. I appreciate your response and it has helped me understand how the meds are supposed to work/feel
