ME, My pdoc has used Adderall before with me and I found it, along with Celexa and wellbutrin effective but eventually it pooped out. I attributed the failure to the meds, yet I was in a really bad work situation and that made me decompensate more than the wrong meds. Despite that combination, I did sink into a major depression. The only thing my pdoc did not do in retrospect was increase the wellbutrin before switching me to another combination of meds, which I still have not found to work for me yet.
I am on Nardil so my pdoc is reluctant to try stimulants, although I believe a small dose (5 mg) of amphetamine is allowed with nardil. I would like to take Adderall again, but he isn't sure about adding it safely to nardil. I don't even care about safe anymore, since I am so desperate for relief after the last 2-3 years of med trials. He did just add a small dose of Abilify (2.5) to the nardil and wellbutrin. He loves the atypical AP's so much I wonder why since after trying them several times they don't so squat for me yet he continues to try them.
On Friday when I see him I will continue to insist on trying another stimulant or something like Strattera which may be safer to add to nardil, do you know if it is?
