In reply to desipramine vs stimulants for comorbid ADD/ Depres, posted by scatterbrained on March 27, 2006, at 20:47:37
some docs do ADs for ADD/ADHD but they're usually older. Also, for some reason (in the US at least) they don't use desipramine; they tend more towards wellbutrin, effexor, etc. in high, intolerable doses. There's also use of the atypical antipyschotics now, which is disturbing (I'm picturing thousands of kids with TD and AP-induced cognitive problems). Maybe we should phase out psychiatry, and just give general docs education is psychopharmacology. I think for all the $$$ pumped into psychiatry, the "profession" has been rather disappointing in producing any sort of results.
