In reply to Dexedrine addiction, ADD and SAD *IMPORTANT*, posted by zarathustra on August 3, 2010, at 22:01:10
Wouldn't Dexedrine mask the symptoms of SA just as it masks the symptoms of ADD?
When you say it masks the symptoms, is that any different to saying it treats the symptoms, that it is in some way less valid or appropriate?
>s it common for stimulants to mask symptoms of SAD, while totally misleading the user into believing the response is their ADD is being treated?
I can't ever use words like ADHD or SA with my psych and resist the desire to provoke and test his response to some interesting assertion such as 'Do you think I have co-morbid OCD and ADHD, but that is meant as a joke. I think his answer to your question might be YES.
