Well, I've got another theory. If a stimulant can boost a depressed person's mood rapidly and dramatically, the temptation to abuse will obviously be high. And the higher the dose, the more severe of a crash is possible. So if a person ends up taking high doses and feeling great, and then crashing pretty bad, the end result isn't going to be good. Rollercoaster of extremes. Some crashers might not even realized why. Again though, I'm sure that physicians are looking out for themselves as well as for their patients.
