I am a 55 year old married Christian woman struggling with depression,ADD, and not able to work at m
I have been prescribed AdderallXR and Klonipin and have been helped in the past with Zoloft. Can I take all 3.I am presently out on "medical"leave from a job I was "killing myself to succeeed at by working crazy hours and not sleeping and abusing Caffeine to work at night. I am also dealing with an angry unsuppotive husband who thinks I am lazy and a ditz and resents me for having these problems he thinks I can discipline myself out of. Any help,ideas,med advice out there?I do have a strong faith system in the goodness of my Heavenly Father and I feel this does keep me grounded but I need to find a better way to deal with all of this. I am also going through Menapausal stuff that I think is contributing to my depression and anxiety, Thank you for reading this and sharing your ideas and experiences.
Hello, Hinda. You might be able to take Zoloft with your other meds, but I would double-check with either a doctor or pharmacist before doing so. It's too bad that your husband is not supportive and is probably making you feel worse. Do you have a therapist? If not, I would highly recommend that you find one because you need some support; maybe you could eventually get your husband to go with you to a couples therapist where you would safely be able to talk about how you feel, and so would he. I have been through this and I have to say that it made a huge difference in our relationship. You need to take good care of yourself, so hope you can get some support somewhere. Sounds like your husband could use some education about ADD and depression - sometimes people just don't understand and then make fun of it.
I don't know if this has been of any help, but maybe you can read some posts on this site, as well as comments, and get some ideas, too. I wish you all the best and hope you'll feel free to write again.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to encourage and bless me with your thoughful comments.I agree with you rgarding therapy and am presently pursuing it. I do hope and pray my husband will agree to get some help also. I stopped taking the Knonipen because I believe it was worsening my depression, I am just back to taking the Zoloft and AdderrallXR. I know there are many good things I need to do to make positive changes in my life and connecting with wonderful caring people and connecting with my wonderful caring Heavenly Father are 2 of the big ones.Again,thank you so very much for being a bright light in a dark world!
