Tom, I actually went the stimulant route in order to relieve the extreme fatigue which my depression causes (I've suffered depression most of my life). I had never even considered the possibility of ADD, because I always associated it with hyper-activity (something I've *never* experienced!). Anyway, it wasn't until I read (here on this board) that there is such a thing as ADD without hyper-activity, that I began to research and discuss it with my Pdoc. With the symptoms I've experienced and my improvement on Adderall, my Pdoc now concurs with me that ADD is one of my problems.
Yes, I have taken different classes of ADs. Elavil, Zoloft, Prozac and Effexor(seperately and together). And finally, Wellbutrin. When I tried Ritalin, I was on the Prozac and Effexor mix. I had to force myself to stop the Ritalin because I was really abusing it. Hope this helps, if you have anymore questions, just ask!CarolAnn
