Depression Treatment Care

I usually take adderall on a regular basis (20mg daily), but since I ran out of medication, and also on occasions in recent memory I experience more feelings of anxiety, sluggishness and depression when I go off it a few days. Is my body chemistry readjusting? Is this normal? Are these withdrawal symptoms? Please answer only if you have experienced this or if you are a psychiatrist. Thanks!

I am generally “down” and have a really hard time motivating and getting into a productive “mode.” I also feel that my life is a completely tragic disaster. But, sometimes I just get so fed up with things that I “lose it” and go off on people. Does this sound like mania, or related to depression? I am trying to guage whether I am simply depressed, or bipolar.

I don’t know if it’s commonplace, to be quite honest, because i’m not a psychiatrist and don’t work in the mental health field; however, i do have bipolar disorder.
I can not take antidepressants because they heighten my mood, sometimes to the point of an agitated mania…
Currently i take seroquel at night before bed. Very occasionally i take a xanax for anxiety, but since i’ve been taking the seroquel my moods have been mainly on the normal side, i function well, and my anxiety has lowered considerably.
Everyone is very different when it comes to medications, so my experience is probably not typical of a lot of other people’s.

Have you known bi-polars that act this way?
