Important information: I have severe ADHD and depression, and moderate anxiety. I have been on Adderall, a stimulant medication prescribed for ADHD, since I was 12 years old, and I stayed in the 30-40mg range (maximum dose for minors is 50mg) until quarantine, when I stopped taking it since I graduated early. I have tried Ritalin and Vyvanse, as well. Wellbutrin, which I was prescribed for my depression and have been taking since late 2020, is also a stimulant medication and has similar side effects, just not NEARLY as pronounced. Before that I had tried fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft), the first of which gave me traumatic nightmares (I have CPTSD and have been known to experience occasional nightmares that evoke the same feelings I felt during the trauma, usually different events though, and this medication made them very frequent, often multiple a night), as well as horrible nausea that felt like I had food poisoning. Both medications made me feel sort of shaky and disoriented, both caused weight gain, horrible temperature regulation issues (I'd wake up in pools of sweat), all kinds of sleep problems, low sex drive, and sertraline made me nauseated, too, just not quite to the same degree as fluoxetine. Sertraline worked pretty well for me for a few months except that I later realized it didn't improve my symptoms of depression, it simply made me numb to it, so when it got worse and I became suicidal, there was absolutely no warning. I went from feeling nothing, to crying, to wanting to die in a matter of 4 hours. I overdosed that night, so then I talked to my doctor and she recommended I try Wellbutrin.
