Asked for male, 33 years old from Pune

Im an 18 y/o f. I have adhd, depression and anxiety. The depression and anxiety have not been bad until recent but I kept it to myself. I did not want to go back to the doctor because I know they would give me medication that do not work for me. So recently I went in to talk about medication for my adhd since i’m starting college soon. She prescribed me aderall xr 15 mg. Right away I noticed it did help me concentrate, but then it also helped me have more engery and made me feel very happy. Of course this feelings does not last long. When it stops making me feel this way, im so depressed, have no motivation and im very sluggish. Recently my friend recommended me some vitamins that she says work miracles. One of them being nature made super b complex, as well as spring valley ashwagandha. I have not been taking the aderall for too long, prob a week ish. I want to start on the vitamins because im tired of feelings this way and do not want to go back on prescription medicine. Should I stop aderall to take one of the vitamins? Will the vitamins affect aderall?

When antidepressant work properly, they help to relieve symptoms and .One way antidepressants work is by altering the balance of certain chemicals in your brain. And, as with all medicines, this change can cause side effects, a detailed discussion is required in this case.
you may discuss your issue in more detail along with your complete medical history so that right medical consultation can be prescribed.
Thanks.

The adhd children will be agitated and cannot be controlled and you can try good counselling while other non-drug treatments — play therapy, cognitive therapy, psychotherapy, and special adhd eating plans — have been regarded as promising, only behavioral treatment has been shown to work.
