puppy:
you seem ad-intolerant to me. i can't imagine why a stim couldn't be tried. i think depression is almost always treated with an ad first, just like manic depression "should" be treated with a stabilizer first (mine was not).
your side effects mimic mine on ad's, even though you're not bipolar. i don't think a different ad is going to do it.
i am trying ritalin now - it's helping. not spectacular, but it's helping. my appetite is waning instead of growing. no anxiety (provigil caused anxiety in me like welbutrin did).
good luck.
