this is my first post here and i searched the forums trying to find a similar thread but nothing came up, so sorry if there's already a thread like this one. anyway, i'm a 15 year old girl and i've been taking some add tests and i'm going to get an adderall prescription. however my doctor also believes i'm severely depressed because of my home/school situations. i'd really like to get xanax because i do think it would help me, i wouldn't use it recreationally. i might sell a few to my friends here and there for some extra $$$, but i'd really like to know what to say in particular to my doctor to persuade him? and is xanax + adderall an okay combo? :sunny: thanks~
^^^i have to agree at age 15 i thought the same way,. popping pills answers my problems.. both substances you mentioned are very addictive, trust me ive been prescribed both . now i realize no medication is the way to go, i only smoke the Ganja now lol
Also i you actually have add you will hate adderall, it made me feel like a zombie when it makes most other people feel up.
^that's interesting, i've heard mainly positive reviews for adderall about focusing. i've taken it before and i must say it was a very efficient high. i did all my homework, studied for all my finals, etc.. but i haven't taken it since and i'm failing practically all my classes. also thank you guys, i've tried coping with my problems without pills before but it's been happening since i was 7, and it's mainly my parents fighting/hitting that gives me anxiety. i've tested positive for ADD many times though. i'd take both pills responsibly and i wouldn't even need a high dosage. i really do understand where you guys are coming from though so thanks for the advice and putting up with my upper-middle class suburban white girl problems, but i really don't see any other way :/ also my boyfriend is getting drug tested in a little less than a month at this point, and if he fails he's getting sent to rehab for the rest of the year, so i promised i wouldn't smoke good ol' buddah either just to help him out. a promise is a promise, blah blah diddly blah, so ganj is out of the question for now.
xanax is an anxiety medication, and is said to make depression worse.. it also does the exact opposite of what adderall does to one's attention span, so i doubt your doctor would put you on this combo in the first place
The same thing happened to me, RIGHT at your age. Xanax is for anxiety, i'd highly reccomend st.johns wort for depression. If you have anxiety, xanax is barley addictive. Adderal, is addictive but belive me its a godsend. It is infact safe to take both, but if your caught selling, your fucked. I had both perscribed to me at your age, and would save the xanax for an anxiety attack. I wont help you get a scrip for xanax, since it seems you dont really need it. Hope this helped!
Xanax doesn't generally help depression, only anxiety. Being so young, therapy is the first line of treatment, followed specifically by Prozac.
Xanax is good for anxiety but there are better ways, xanax is too easy to get hooked on. If you have an anxiety attack, smoke some weed and put some music on. As my shink tells me "found so way of changing the channel (in your mind) and the panic and anxiety should fade"
