Thanks! You've given me a lot of good information! How much longer does the doctor intend on keeping you on Dextrostat? Going to the doctors once a month is not a hassle for me. I had no idea these meds were in the same category as cocaine and morphine.

I guess i'll been on an ADD stim until I graduate college next spring. I plan to move out of state then, so i'll have a new psychiatrist & another hassle trying to get an adequate dose of an ADD medicine.
I going to try Concerta 56 mg next month, Focalin the month after that, & Adderall the month after that so then I can decide which one is best & will take that one during the school year.
If you decide to use a stimulant as an anti-depressant I would recommend the long acting Adderall XR or Concerta above anything else because they last 12 hours, almost as long as Wellbutrin SR. The immediate release stimulants are too up & down (especially Ritalin & Focalin) to work well for depression. When they wear off 3, 4 or 6 hours later you have a horrible irritable rebound characterized by fatigue, depression, & crankiness.
