Hi,
The Adderall was being used as an anti-depressant because it was the only thing that could get me going.What side effects have you encountered? Do you have to have blood levels tested? What about an EKG prior to starting the med. What dosage do you take?
In all honesty I don't know if my doctor is going to go for a TCA trial because of my history of anorexia. But since I have nothing else to try at this point, we might have to consider it and monitor my heart on a regular basis.
Thanks.
Maxime
