I brought it up after doing exhaustive searches about 2 years ago on different socializing meds. (And I should correct - I actually take about 1/2 of a 15mg spansule, so my real CR dosage is 7.5 mg not 2.5 mg.) Luckily the PDOC I chose primarily treats adult ADD, so had no problem prescribing various stimulants meds!

Like you I tended to have tiredness, anhedonia, low motivation, and social anxiety. Bordering on atypical depression, really, but not bad enough to warrant the label or use of antidepressants. Dexedrine & klonopin are great in part b/c they can be used "as needed" and I take drug holidays on the weekend.
