Gloria,
I have been on Adderall for a bit now, and it certainly has helped (if not "cured") my anxiey and depression. I have already lost a few pounds and am losing more! My depression, apathy, and anxiety were obviously by products of my ADD and not something askew otherwise. I'm lucky that way, I know. I take one 10mg dose in the morning and feel wonderful all day! I am getting things done around the house and have regained interest in many things I had given up. It has been a godsend to me! As far as the appetite control goes, it is an amphetamine, so it naturally takes away the urge to eat. I still get the hungries, but I have to force myself to eat! That is a big change from hanging in front of the fridge all night! Instead of saying "I won't eat so much starting tomorrow" everynight, I'm doing it now, and it shows!! (getting sexy!!) As far as my previous depression goes, before my ADD was treated directly, the ONLY AD that every really worked for me was Elavil. It was wonderful! I think it's about the oldest one out there, but it was great. (very cheap, too!) Anyway, I can't say enough good things about Adderall, I should be a spokesperson! Hope I have helped!
