I take citalopram now. It works wonders for those with ADHD.

this SSRI anti depressant is primarily for depression is it not, how exactly can it help your ADHD?

It helps me pay attention to things. I used to watch tv and never understand what im watching. That has seemed to change. And also with my biology studies too.

I believe it's not prescribed just for depression.

I am on Lamictal. It's an anti-epileptic, and can also help with mild depression (I take it for epilepsy).

i take monthly injections of abilify (maintena). it does virtually nothing except it increased my blood pressure and made me less sleepy.

LOL...This thread reminds me of the line Rainman used when he Jeff's new woman......"Are you on any prescription medication?"

 

Only stuff I take besides Centruum Chewey Adult Vitamins is the occasional Ibuprofen or Tramadol when any of my various old sports and MA injuries flare up. Of course IBU is available otc but I get these bigass 800mg footballs from the VA. As I do the Tramadol.

Be careful with the bigass 800mg Ibuprofen pills. Ibuprofen in large doses has been linked to increased cardiac arrest risk...
