Hi,
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with most of the meds you are taking, but I "do" know that you know your body and your mind the best, better than any doctor. Medicine, unfortunately, involves a lot of trial and error. If you felt the best, most stable, most productive on Adderall, then I think you should get back on it.
It's "your" body, your mind, your life. The doc is probably trying the best he can, I'm not faulting him at all. But only "you" know what's truly going on inside. It's your health, you can take charge of it. Plus, if you find yourself wanting to drink, I would take that as an indicator that a particular med, or lack of it, isn't working for you.
Taking Paxil was the worst thing I've ever done....it saved my life getting off of it. I may not have my depression totally under control, but I'm not in the hell caused by a drug that wasn't right for me.
Good luck. You're in my thoughts. :-)
Susan
