I would find another treatment. Antidepressant wise, maybe get a backup script of Wellbutrin SR or XL (XL is longer but milder since it divides the dosage by 24 hours and SR is more concentrated/released sooner).
Maybe see how you do with the stimulant medication for a bit before you look to add to the stack since Wellbutrin is technically a mild NDRI (baby Ritalin for grownup imao) and the fact its an antidepressant (even a novel one) suggests depression is mediated by at least norepineohrine and dopamine and its a bit duplicative with the stronger stim that already does that
Tianeptine is really only practical or “good” for risky usecases. You do you but you don’t need to fall off every cliff before you take a moment and look down to get an idea of where this adventure inevitably leads each time it plays out
Edit: maybe upvote when people help you out to so other peoplem grt to see it. Its as much a courtesy to those who take the time to help you as it is to keep it visible if you feel value was created
I’ve tried wellbutrin before. before I was on any stimulants.
wellbutrin made me sedated af. after a few weeks it was a Lil better and less sedated but still… didn’t notice anything besides the sedated part
what fucked me bareback with aids was Strattera. only took 80mg for a month ing August and it was fucking bad. full body goose bumps for no reason. weird feelings, and it also made me depressed. which continues I guess. my situation in life doesn’t help either but still. I was sort of fine while taking 72mg concerta.
There ya go 😎 But for now I don’t have additional comments since I’ve given what I know. Maybe work your ay thriugh different classes.
If you wanna try on the mental side, look into Self-Therapy by Jay Earley (get the audiobook and do a chapter a day). To me, IFS is the gold standard of therapy but I make no claim to universal acclaim, altho it is getting more popular (with this wanderer anyway). Drugs are going to be the answer you seek because you probably have no standard for that which you are seeking to find or return to, emotionally and mental health wise
Edit: btw, if you’re having a good chat and you uvote peoples stuff if its useful or on the right track, they will often recipcroate. Its a good way to know if you’re on the same page implicitly sometimes. Is for me def
I saw your reply so thats a good step but oay attention to when its there and missing cuz it gives you a compass and instant feedback based on your output
Gotcha but it helps people infer that their input is desired and there’s a better chance of you noticing if you’re putting people off like the bareback anal whatever aha.
I get its folksy but its going to ward off others in this kind of instance or others from without who are trying to tend to their mental garden ;)
Check out Self-Therapy tho, its an affirming practice that takes a bit of getting used to but its really the most natural approach I’ve stumbled upon so thats all I got, good luck
chronical withdrawal? damn. you’re scaring me. a bit. what exactly do you mean?
if I stop taking it. 5 months from now, without taking it, will I still feel the withdrawal or something?

Did you find Concerta helped on the depression side?
yes. a bit. until we added Strattera to the mix
