I just had left over amphets from when I was unable to get real Adderall-XR which I was taking in combination with Celexa and Wellbutrin a few years ago.

> Good luck, I know how much of a struggle it is. I have had issues with depression for 20-30 years. It doesn't ever go away but I can now accept it and hopefully always find a treatment (which hasn't always been the case). I lost many jobs over the years due to this illness.
