Updated

I've been taking this new med DEXTROAMP-AMPHET ER 20MG. Because of fatigue and foggy feeling due to pain meds for chronic pain plus I take meds for depression and bad anxiety. I feel the dextroamp-amphet ER 20mg working a little but it still doesn't quit take the tired foggy feeling away and it seems to not last all day. Should I ask to up the dose or ask for instant release so it works better? The pain meds I take are oxy 10 mg 3 times daily hydro codon 10 325 2 times daily and for my depression sequel ER 200 mg Zoloft 100 mg and lorazepam 1mg 3 times daily. What due u think I should due. Ask for hire dose of dextroamp-amphet ER or try instant release or is their some thing better for my fatiuge? Please give me your thoughts

Dustin,

You may want to discuss this with your doc and consider taking LESS. That sounds like a dangerous poly drug cocktail to me. I hope you find relief very soon because several meds you mentioned should never be prescribed concurrently.

It stands for Dextroamphetamine and Amphetamine, it is a generic for Adderall, so it is a stimulant and is often prescribed to treat such issues.

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, irritability, and anorexia.

However, the other person that has responded does have a point, taking most of these together can increased the amount and severity of side effects that you experience, which can include dizziness, and drowsiness. Continuing with this combination is up to you and your doctor, of course, but I have a general dislike for prescribing something to treat the side effects caused by other medications, because then you may be adding side effects from the new medication, which just creates a vicious, never ending cycle.

How often do you see your doctor? Do you go in for monthly appointments?
