Depression
"My daughter suffered from depression and anxiety and had tried SSRIs. We thought this might help give her more energy and feel better since it affects dopamine. However, over the summer her anxiety got worse. At college her anxiety got even worse. She became paranoid and even started hearing voices. She ate very little and slept very little. She stopped going to classes and had suicidal thoughts. She called me and said she felt constantly &quot;jittery,&quot; so I told her to get off the drug. Basically, it increased her energy and made her mood much worse. I don&#039;t recommend this for someone who suffers from anxiety since it affects norepinephrine - the fight or flight response."
