> Hi, Anthony. I haven't been on stimulants very long but I have tried dexedrine and adderal. I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment, but I think your fears are justified. Adderal is longest acting of the stimulants (except there may be an extended release form of ritalin). But even people on adderal sometimes have to take it four times a day. These drugs do not give a steady uplift in mood like you might get from a good AD, and they are more dangerous because they are addictive. Even if you don't get that great a response, you might still want more because they do seem to cause depression when they wear off. Just be careful.
I know for myself, I will take the wellebutrin for the rest of my life. I don't have a problem with it because it helps better than nothing. I have tried so many other things and I am not completely in a full blown depression, but I am hanging on the edge of it every day. "Oh here we go again." I want something that is going to make me smile and really look forward to the next day because I know I can't do this on my own. I don't connect that way or something. I want something thats going to help me take pride in cleaning my house and getting my fat bottom off of the couch. Go to work with a good attitude. I guess if it doesn't come to me naturally is there something so wrong with getting it someplace else? The addiction part is a bad drawback. I don't think Adipex is addictive. I had no problem when I didn't have any more. I need a good doctor to help me through this and that is one of my biggest hurdles besides the depression. Anyone know of a good doctor around Columbus, Ohio?
