I haven’t taken sertraline and Adderall at the same time. But this is good information to know, I’ll look up the symptoms. Thanks!


Yeah, I’ve seen it talked about a fair amount.

Here is one of them, per Google: https://genesight.com/product/


I’m on sertraline already. It works well for my anxiety, but hasn’t helped with ADHD or depressive symptoms


Sounds about where I’m at as well.

Did you get the results of the DNA test back, and get any valuable information from it?


I’m currently taking guanfacine. It works well for me for anxiety and sleep, but has shown no improvement to my ADHD symptoms


Thanks for your response! What you’ve told me is accurate, and I have always taken all my Garmin measurements with a grain of salt. But the measurements of stress also coincide with actually feelings of immense stress, restlessness, anxiety, and extreme debilitating mental and physical fatigue.

I took Adderall for 2 years, starting with small doses and slowly titrating up after a few months of consistency. Over that time, the symptoms I describe began to start and become more severe. I did in fact have a nice stretch at the start where the Adderall was working well. I definitely didn’t jump ship at the first sign of physiological changes…only at the point where continuing with the Adderall was going to continue negatively impacting my life and work.

In my futile attempt to stop my post from running on and on with these bits of context, I omitted it and posted it…to a forum full of people that thrive on excessive amounts of context.


I took Adderall for about two years with slowly increasing dosages, so I definitely had the consistency aspect down. If anything it seemed to work well early on, but then started causing issues the longer I took it.


Looking for advice and shared experiences - ADHD medications stressing my body out
Hi everyone! I was diagnosed a few years ago in my early 30s, and started taking Adderall along with some different drugs for anxiety as well. With Adderall and then Wellbutrin, even in small dosages, I notice that my HRV Stress (recorded on a Garmin 945 Forerunner) is significantly elevated for the entire day. When I used to take a midday and evening dose of (instant release) Adderall, it severely impacted my sleep. I also tried extended release taken in the morning, and that caused sleeping issues as well. So did an extended release of Wellbutrin. Basically, any benefits those medications provide (and it didn't really feel like it was helping) were offset by the bodily impact. Has anyone had a similar experience with either of these medications? Any notable co-morbidities or changed metabolism or something that you identified as causing these symptoms? Did Ritalin or Strattera work for you when Adderall did not? I've been cycling through other non-stim medications with my provider, but haven't found anything that provides benefits for ADHD (I'm currently on guanfacine and zoloft, which mitigates my anxiety at least).

I had this experience in a family chat with some iPhones and some Androids. The funny thing is, it seems to be the iPhones that will miss pictures/message rather than the Androids. I’m not sure how that would pressure me (Android user) to switch.
