I’m honestly surprised to be here, as I knew something was severely wrong, but thought I was going to get a diagnosis for a different disorder. For months I’ve been slowly spiraling- feeling defeated, hopeless, empty, no confidence, not wanting to socialize, relationship issues, constant stress, inability to cope, and mood swings from hell. Well tada, it’s f’ing depression.

My doctor wants me to go back on Lexapro, which I was on 7 months ago and went off of due to weight gain and feeling like I was ✨magically healed✨. Clearly I was wrong so, there is that. I’m also now on Adderall, and was wanting to know if anyone is in the same boat. How are things going, how is your dosage and side effects, etc? I’ve read that sometimes the SSRI will cause the ADHD stimulant to not work as well, so I’m nervous that about that. It was also mentioned if things aren’t better in a month, to slap in a dosage of a mood stabilizer as well. 

Thanks in advance for reading this!
