I had to chime in, I took adderall successfully for 8+ years as augmenting for mood. It wasnt' always enough, but i remember times when i was only on my adderall and pristiq (gabapentin PRN).
As two notes, 1. not any more. 2. it was ONLY the CorePHarma brand of Adderall.
The generic mfg of Adderall called CorePharma was probably a more consistent AD than many of the others i've been on. The focus and slight energy addition wore off in normal times but once it was consistently in my system for a week my mood stayed consistent throughout days and nights.
:( that company is now gone. and i've tried three other mfg of adderall and nothing. I then tried Dexedrine which did great for energy but nothing for mood and my focus was hyperfocused and in a bad way with my negative mood.
Now i'm on Evekeo. my focus and cognative ability is much better, but energy level and mood still in the toilet.
and Also, when med wears off... so do all its effects.
:(
