hey! OK..I think I misunderstood the situation. A *good* shrink should probably recognize the severity of the situation and go up on the Adderall...I mean, I took Adderall for similar stuff (ADHD+treatment-resistant depression, possibly of the bipolar type) and I was given 60mgs/day..I was 20 at the time, and I've never done ECT. A GP, though, isn't likely to want to go that route; they might write adderall rx's for adhd, but they aren't big on doing the more "experimental" side of psychopharmacology...you'll need a psychiatrist to do the RXing for that.

Sorry about your situation. Sucks, doesn't it? I hope this works out for you. If you can't get up on the Adderall, you may want to consider switching to or adding Provigil. Also, if you have high-blood pressure already, Desoxyn might be a good alternative (if your shrink is up for it). I say that just b/c Desoxyn uses lower doses, so there are usually fewer side effects. Good luck!
