I'm glad to hear that the parnate is helping with the deppresion. I have been taking dextroamphetamine for several years to treat ADD and day time drowsiness caused by medications. I have seen over five different doctors and none of them have had a problem prescribing it to treat these syptoms. Just be honest with the doctor, explain how parnate is working very well but you are having problems with the increased day time drowsiness which mkakes it hard to focus and your having problems with concentration. Tell the doctor you have been treated in the past for these syptoms associated with ADHD and that ritalin/dexedrine were the only medications that fully alleviated your symptoms and you would like to try taking it again. Also mention that the drowsiness and inability to focus are making it extremely difficult to seek a job. Just be firm and persistant with the doctor that this is the path you want to take.
Let us know how your appointment goes
