> > JohnL, I think you hit the nail on the head regarding some depressions needing a stimulant. Nothing worked for me until my Pdoc prescribed Adderall. I take 10 mgs three times per day, and while it does not have a dramatically noticeable effect, I do *feel* a definite improvement in my mood (I've actually experienced happiness a few times recently!). I have more motivation and have even started taking a course in creativity (based on "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron) at my church. Having tried so many different medications, including a different stimulant(Ritalin), which were ineffective, I cannot say often enough, "Give Adderall a try, it might be just what you need!"

CarolAnn -

Just wondering, are you taking only adderall now? And you find that it helps w/motivation, mood, and energy? Did you have any issues with focusing/concentration? If so, did/does adderall help you in that area as well? Thanks for the feedback.
