I just got prescribed Adderall 30mg XR and Zoloft 150MG daily. These drugs together I have taken in the past for about 2 years. I really liked how I felt on both of them, when I was just on Zoloft I didn't feel any changes in my depression, and I have been diagnosed with Manic Depression and ADD, so that is why the Adderall. I was not able to stay awake in the mornings, mid afternoons, afternoons and nights, I could sleep all 24 hours if I could have, but being I do have things I have to take care of around this house, I work from home and have 3 cats and 2 doggies to take care of. Not to mention tons of housework, I was not getting anything done for months except light housekeeping and keeping my pets clean, fed and catered too, but that wasn't enough, I felt worthless and mad all the time because I just could not wake UP!! Well, I debated around about going back on Adderall 30mg XR because I hate any type of speed pill or having to depend on anything to keep me awake, but after struggling for the 6 mos I have been off the meds, I went back on and today is my very first day on a 30mg xr pill I took about 2 hours ago and I feel amazing!! I don't feel like I am all speedy, I feel actually normal, like how one should feel after being out of bed for a couple of hours, I am up on the computer doing some research I needed to get done, I am going to get to work on a Resume I have put off for a year now, I am getting all my ducks in a row and today is just day one, I am already so proud of myself for going back on a medication I know that I need to be on. I never had any problems with over taking on my Adderall in the past and have no intentions on taking over what I am prescribed now. I am allowed to take 2 30 mg XR a day and that is plenty, heck with the way I feel I probably will only do one a day, I do not have my health insurance effective yet, so that prescription was over $300 dollars and I surely cannot afford that a month (well I can but refuse to pay it) My husband demanded we got it at the pharmacy because he see's me suffering. So I am going to work on my health insurance today and get that into effect and was told that they will reimburse me some funds that I am paying out of pocket so even if they gave me 1/2 of that prescription back I would be so greatful. I am on a few other meds for high blood pressure and cholestrol, depression, anxiety, upset stomach, etc, so my bills are way over 1K a month right now with just my MEDS, not including my Family Doctors Prices. But like I said I am getting a good health policy that is current, I just need to do a signature and get my cards, but it was ok for me to go see my Doctor before I get my cards, so no my Medications will not be pre-existing I made sure of that and they are new scripts. Anyway I really want to get my act together and get things done I have been procrastinating for over a year now and I believe this pill is really going to help me with that. I was having a lot of trouble concentrating, and when I would start something I would stop and never finish and had a million projects going but forgot what and when I started what I was doing, I have trouble listening to anyone and have to be told over and over again, because I just don't pay attention prior to Adderall XR, so I am thankful for this drug. I do feel for those who take it for a HIGH sensation that DO NOT NEED IT, because it makes it so much harder on us whom are sick to get it. I actually had no problems getting my medicaitons because I know what I am talking about and know how to talk to Doctors, explain my symptoms professionally and never been denied a medication, which is great. So good luck to all of us out there who really Need to be using Adderall, Adderall XR, I do have a question, has anyone take just the Adderall? not the XR? because that prescription is much less than the XR and I may have to switch, I just like the long acting effect and not having to take pills. Please advise. I am happy they did come out with a Generic this year in April, because I could only imagine what the price would have been as a brand name, instead of over $300 I am sure more up to $600 or more!! ok take care all, Annie :))
