I posted 3-4 weeks ago that I wanted to try to get off of Adderall. It was prescribed to me five years ago for severe fatigue. So 3-4 weeks ago, I decreased my dose from 30 mg in the am and 15 mg at noon to just 30 mg daily, usually split in two doses. I wasn't too bad for maybe the first week but after that I began to have worsened depression. My doctor increased my Remeron dose and added Lamictal b/c my depression was flaring up. These changes have just made me tired and the Lamictal is giving me an upset stomach and insomnia. These changes haven't really helped.

It just occurred to me today that the root of my problem is probably the decrease in Adderall 3 -4 weeks ago. I think cutting out that 15 mg made me depressed. I am going to go back to my previous dose tomorrow and see how I feel. I hate the idea of being dependent on a stimulant. I know I'm not the only one who takes it off-label for fatigue and depression so I'll try not to beat myself up.
