I tend to disagree with utopizen about using amphetamine...amphetamines are pretty well tolerated and can help with depression in some people, especially when you're dealing with lingering symptoms of depression like lethargy and drug-induced problems. Its kind of like using amphetamines in depression caused by poor physical health (ex: cancer patients) or to undo the fatigue caused by other drugs (example: giving amphetamines to people on high-dose pain killers).
As for my experience...yeah, it did dry my skin out a little. I was also stressed out for a period of time while on adderall, so that certainly didn't help matters any. I think if you keep adequately hydrated and treat outbreaks at the **first** sign of problems (I usually waited to use Elidel until I considered it particularly noticeable or bothersome), then it shouldn't be that big a deal.
