Hello everyone, Happy Friday 😊 I just have a quick question. I take Adderall IR (generic). What vitamins and minerals should I be taking that Adderall may deplete over time? I've heard stimulants are guilty of this. I understand I can do a Google search/Ask AI, but I'd like to see what you all have learned over time or have been told by your psychiatrists. Mine hasn't said a thing about it.

Thank you!

Hi guys, I started Adderall IR a month and a half ago. My first fill was generic manufacturer Alvogen, and this past fill was Elite. Changed from 10mg IR twice a day (did nothing, made me tired as hell....Maybe it was because of the manufacturer, Alvogen) to 15mg IR twice a day with the Elite going into the second month. I've heard a lot negative about Elite, however, it is actually helping more than the Alvogen.....BUT, the crashes are AWFUL. I mean, I am SO depressed, SO unmotivated, the anxiety is brutal and debilitating and it lasts the entirety of the day/night after the wear-off. I only get about 3 hours of clarity/energy/motivation after each dose. So I am suffering most of the time....every evening and night with these crashes. I am so irritable - I can't deal with my family at all. I want to just sit there and cry and wonder if this is what my life will always be like because I can't do this. At first, I had some hope when I felt energized and motivated and was actually getting things done calmly (with the Epic.) I tried everything to stop the crashes....the protein, making sure you drink and eat, avoiding vitamin C until bedtime, deep breathing, meditation, taking a tiny dose early in the evening after my lther 2 regular dlses to help wean down (5 mg.) etc. I don't know what else to do. I don't want to give up on stimulants, but from all that I read here that's been going on since 2020 with stimulants, especially Adderall....I don't know. I want to make this work for me. Help, please 🙏 😢
