actually there was one point where i was ONLY on adderall. i am taking it mostly for mood, some for focus and energy due to lethargy.

you would have to fight me tooth and nail to convince me to have that taken away :)
i know its strong, but i also don't have the same SE some have due to its strength, so i think my body does need it.
the perphenazine i'm on for anxiety but i have that whether i'm on adderall or not and to a similar severe degree, so i have chosen to stay on it.

i have not tried lithium or depakote. vie been on three other mood stabilizers and do very poorly on them, they actually create mood swings in me. I haven't tried lithium only because i've said no in the past.
my 'previous' best friend was on that when she past away. i know we are all different, but i equate lithium with her suicide. i just cant go there. MOAI's and Lithium are on my 'last ditch effort' list.

and yes. i know you are disappointed with psychiatry as a field.
i agree to an extent. i believe that psychiatrists in general are not allowed the same research funds as other fields. the research is all on the meds not on practice.

and i would be fully disappointed if not for my current pdoc. He is so different from any others i've had.
1. he spends at least a half hour with me each visit.
2. he is Very holistic
3. he differentiates psychological issues from biological ones
4. is well versed in psychopharmacology
5. he's cute
ooops i didn't need to put that in there :)
5b. he is very intelligent and has been at several big hospitals
6. and is up on latest research.

but that is my personal opinion and BELIEVE ME! i have had some DOOOSIES
in the past. people who probably Barely graduated medical school.
and if that was what i'd base it on, id tell EVERYONE to be their own doc!

but alas. it is not. i account this one very caring and intelligent doctor.
i feel blessed to such a competent doctor.
