Adderall with anti depressants

Looking for success stories because I’m feeling defeated right now.

I was prescribed Wellbutrin which was hell for me gave me insane anxiety felt like I could barely breath. I tried to stick it out as I saw some said it would pass it never did. I quit cold Turkey after a little over 3 months and I was fine.

I did multiple tova adhd tests for adderall with my dr and we finally found a good dose of 15mg twice a day. I felt good for a while very motivated, happier, we were thinking my depression was just undiagnosed adhd.

It’s been about 5 months of the adderall and now I’m just feeling down all over again. Maybe it’s lost it’s affect? The past week I’ve just realized how insanely unhappy and unmotivated I am, I barely even laugh, can’t find joy in things. I feel like I’m just waiting for the day to pass by, nothing is fun anymore, I don’t enjoy playing with my son anymore and I feel so angry, irritated, defeated all the time etc.

I hate feeling this way.

EDIT: I’ve taken a break from my adderall prescription as some recommended. It’s been almost 4 weeks. The first 4 days I stg I was a complete zombie wow I could get nothing done,all I wanted to do was sleep. I will say my mood has increased a slightly- I am less snappy but I’ve been having such a difficult time working at my same high level. Not focused as much and it takes so much out of me to get even the smallest things done. But I do feel a little happier. I decided to take an adderall the other day cause I had a lot of work to do- I felt great and I got so much done but it’s like I wanted to keep working and I realized how I get so irritable with my son for small things like way more annoyed then I would with him not on it. It’s as if I’m so hyper focused on all the things I need to do I can’t go have fun and when he’s not listening I basically have less patience on adderall. If any of that makes sense does anyone else get this way?

The only advice I can give you is that I think when this started happening to me, I realized I probably needed a higher dosage of Adderall because my body was already used to the dosage I was on before. I'm on 30 mg and I feel completely dependent on my 30 mg a day now I'm trying to get off because my heart rate is high and I have a small Adderall crash in the middle of the day. I don't want to heighten my dosage of Adderall because I don't want to be on it anymore except for occasional use. You do you though.

Not going to make this post about kratom because I know that's not allowed but kratom has helped me regulate my moods while still enjoying the energy and focus of Adderall (even after I crash mid-day). I take my Adderall as prescribed so I find that kratom helps.

About Welbutrin, I noticed I had a really bad effect where my Adderall didn't work like AT ALL when I was taking both. I took Welbutrin to quit vaping but I had to stop because of side effects.

On a side note, I also have bipolar disorder (as well as ADHD) so I do take Latuda 70 mg and that regulates me pretty well I'd say. Adderall can help but a mood stabilizer/anti-depressant/anti-psychotic will really help you stay calm and stay rational when you are angry, irritated, upset, etc. At least it will help you think things through and think before you speak when you start to feel edgy when the inevitable Adderall crash comes.
