I think I'm going to ask my doc for trials on stimulants. I know we all respond differently, but I'm wondering which of ritalin or adderall generally has the lesser amount of anxiety side effects? I know lexapro can handle my anxiety stuff, and maybe a tad of xanax if needed, but for the blah amotivational lack of interest lack of energy kind of depression I have I think a stimulant would be worth a shot.
I tried ritalin for a week and adderall for a week many years ago. I don't remember much about them except that they did boost my mood, interest, sociability and energy a lot. I think the reason I didn't stay with them was because I thought I was too young to start down that road. But hey, I'm a lot older now.
