> When I asked my internist if he would consider a trial of Adderall for my depression, he told me that Adderall (a Schedule II medication) (1) can only be prescribed by a psychiatrist, and (2) can only be prescribed for people who have been diagnosed with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder.

2. This is false.
Your doctor is reluctant to prescribe stimulants for two reasons: 1. the DEA counts the number of times he prescribes them and will persecute him if he does prescribe them regularly 2. some people do have negative reactions to stimulants, especially people with mood lability.
