Hi, Jenred. Welcome to Surviving Antidepressants.

 

Please give us more details about your drug history, including the drug name of the amphetamine salts you are taking. Is it Adderall or Mydayis? 

 

You may find some help for the nausea here:

 

Digestive problems: nausea, diarrhoea, bloating, GERD

 

Please add a signature.  Include drugs, doses, dates, and discontinuations & reinstatements in the last 12-24 months. Also include supplements. This will help us give you the most accurate advice we can. 

• Any drugs and supplements prior to 24 months ago can just be listed with start and stop years. 
• Please use actual dates or approximate dates (mid-June, Late October) rather than relative time frames (last week, 3 months ago) 
• Spell out months, e.g. "October" or "Oct."; 9/1/2016 can be interpreted as Jan. 9, 2016 or Sept. 1, 2016. 
• Please leave out symptoms and diagnoses. 
• A list is easier to understand than one or multiple paragraphs. 
• This is a direct link to your signature:  Account Settings – Create or Edit a signature.

For more on setting up a signature, please see the first post here - How to List Drug History in Signature

 

As you provide more information, we'll be able to help you set up a taper.
