Only stims I've taken are Ritalin and Dexadrine, many years ago to supplement AD's, don't remember what AD's though. No improvement with stims and Ad's.
About a year ago, tried adderall with Celexa and Wellbutrin Had good luck with this combination but eventually stopped it. No good reason why.
Have taken probably every AD there is, too many to list...had the best results on MAO's, but my depression is a long standing, endogenous type, not easily controlled with medications. MAO's are the last resort for depression treatment due to their side effects and interactions with certain foods. But many here have had good relief with them but for others, especially first time depressives, they're not used since docs are not comfortable prescribing d/t side effects and patients who do not heed the dietary restrictions.
My current meds, Emsam 6 mg (MAO patch) and amphetamine (generic version of short acting Adderall). Just testing the stim benefit with Emsam so verdict is still out on this combination..
What's your situation...new depression?
