Default Prozac and Ritalin

I've been prescribed both by the same doctor. Been on Prozac for years but am just starting the Ritalin. But after doing some research, it looks like maybe I shouldn't be taking these two drugs together. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks!

Hey. Ive been proscribed prozac, 20mg daily. I also have been diagnosed ADD. However, my doctor will not prescribe any medication for my ADD. He said that the combination of both these drugs will make the flow of serotonin unpredictable and irregular (more irregular than a lack of serotonin, aka "depression") He also said some other ****, which i can't recall. I cannot verify the authenticity of my doctors statement, however i do believe him to be reliable, and I have total trust in him. I have been using Methylphenidate (Ritalin), as well as Adderall (amphetamines) for recreational use for quite a while, and I have not experienced any adverse reactions, aside from light insomnia (which is common with Ritalin and Amphetamines ( I have experienced light insomnia when using Prozac[20mg daily] and about 60mg Methylphenidate [insuffulated, oral] daily. Could this mean I do NOT have ADD, when my doc said i did)? Because Ritalin has the opposite reaction when taken by people without ADD/ADHD. This reaction is [central-nervous system] stimulant, and I have experienced the euphoric stimulant effects of Ritalin (and Concerta) when on Prozac, so Im starting to doubt my ADD.

Default Prozac and other anti-depression drugs

I was diagnosed as serious case of angst and illusion related symptom and was hospitalized twice in the period of 3 months. Had taken some drugs including Prozac. Later on I became a Christian and I no longer take any anti-depression drugs any more. (for the last 3 years at least). My pastor who came from a Chinese house church told me that for a born-again Christian, you get new body and mind from the Jesus and you no long have to suffer as other people do. I believe that is true. I have been doing art for some time and have got quite some success (without any formal art education, honestly). So why don't you try something else after all the medication no longer function for you???
