Tell me it isn't so. I believe that no one with depression should even consider Adderall in their regimen. They WILL develop tolerance and they WILL feel like (you know what).

Well, I'm NOT Dr. Bob, but I agree with you. The drug-induced depression from stimulants is worse than the depression one has before starting stims. How right you are. For some, tolerance develops in two weeks; for others, it might take two years. I've read about meds like memantine and Lamictal which can prevent or delay tolerance, but there are probably more problems associated with them, so taking those is probably nothing more than staving off the inevitable.
