In reply to Long Term Adderall Use?, posted by SarahB on October 2, 2000, at 14:26:10
Sarah,
While fortunately,I don't all the side effects that you do, I am greatly concerned about the hand tremor that I seem to get while either on ritalin or adderall. Since I'm also on Zoloft and am concerned about the weight gain, I have decided to switch to Prozac. I'm hoping that Prozac with its activating feature will enable me to either take less of Adderall or drop it all together.
The advice you received was good. Also, have you considered switching to one of the AD drugs that is used also for ADD such as Wellbutrin?
Anyway, I definately understand your situation as stimulants have made a big difference in my life. While I am willing to tolerate certain side effects, I don't think having a hand tremor is one to take lightly.
Good luck
Shirley
