Stimulants take how long to work?

Posted by adamie on August 15, 2001, at 11:05:50


hi everyone. Before persueing such things as VNS for depression I am willing to try stimulants if I am able to get them from my stubborn pdoc.

Stimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall are supossed to be fast acting for depression correct? As in even in a few days? Maybe less? I have tried two seratonin medications and there is no doubt in my mind that they made me worse. While on effexor thoughts of hopelessness and possible suicide were extremely high. My heart was beating so fast that I actually had some heart pain. Off the effexor I am feeling better.

Due to my bad experience with AD's so far I really want to try stimulants as a few people have suggested. Which are the best stimulants that could be easy to get for depression? If my pdoc wont prescribe me then I will try to get one from my family physician. So far I am thinking Ritalin and Adderall but I dont know if there are better ones for depression.
