In reply to stimulants as antidepressents, posted by laima on January 4, 2007, at 16:31:04
From personal experience, the crash from stims is horrible. I had to augment with Cymbalta to make the Adderall at all tolerable.
Of course, Cymbalta at 60mg took away much of the anti-ADD benefit that the stims gave me. Maybe it was just the Cymbalta that was crap... but I'd bet that other SRIs would diminish the effect as well.
