Reply To: Quillivant XR and unbelievable rage

[deebee]

I’ve never used Quillivant (methylphenidate, like Ritalin), but some anti-ADD and anti-depressant meds do that to my husband. He takes two things to counteract the rage: lamotrigine (Lamictal), a mood stabilizer, and fluoxetine (Prozac), an SSRI antidepressant. The fluoxetine is the more useful; the lamotrigine keeps him active in spite of the fluoxetine! Depending on where you are, lamotrigine might be difficult to get, because this would be an off-label(not approved by the powers that be) use of it.
