@dr.matthew.parker: Take this, not that: Psychiatry edition. Psychiatric medications aren't one-size-fits-all. The “best” medication depends on the person, the diagnosis, symptoms, other medications, side effects, and a whole lot more. So this isn't “take X because X is better.” It's here's how I think about different options in different situations. And yes, sometimes the answer is neither! What should I compare next? #MentalHealth #psychiatry #adhd #depression #anxiety

You can’t start with Vyvanse. They have to fail adderall and Ritalin first 😭

Wellbutrin is way better than SSRIs in my opinion… hated SSRIs but I know they’re great for a ton of people… just made me have SI unfortunately

Hmm interesting.. I personally feel like I can’t justify going with strattera before a stimulant trial since stimulants are considered first line for ADHD.

ssris are pure garbage. all the side effects and weight gain is not worth it. how depressing it would be if you cannot satisfy your partner beacuse of the medication alone is depressing 😕

Thank you for acknowledging the benefits of psychotherapy alongside or as a precursor to medications!

Mirtazipine has literally been a life saver for me! I kind of use it for the side effects of sleeping and increased appetite but the vivid dreams omg! Haha insane

It’s the weight gain for mirtazapine that for many patients that is a no-go.

They didn’t give me cbti in childhood sadly. ADHD childhood diagnosis- wish they’d paid more attention to my lack of sleep. My mom wasn’t sleeping either but they never listened- she meant days awake- not a few hours a night 😳Now I stay up a week straight so I take more than just remeron too - but it worked so well at first.

Currently on 15 mg mirtazapine for appetite stimulant and anxiety. It was great for appetite for about 3 weeks then it tapered off and I’m back to my baseline. Are there similar meds? I really enjoy it’s lack of bad side effects.
