I do understand what you are saying. I sort of feel the same way in that the depression is lurking around waiting for the Adderall to wear off. But if we think about it that is the same with all the pills we have been taking. The minute we stop taking them the beast comes back. So they also just mask the problem. At least Adderall affords me a few hours of calmness and energy; something I never got from most of the other meds I have tried.
I hope you are doing well.
> I am on Adderaesll XR right now. I am still on my other psych meds though. The Adderall was added to help get me going so that I don't stay in bed all day with the covers over my head. It helps a lot (plus now I have job). However, I feel like it is masking my depression. Like I can feel the depression underneath the Adderall (if that makes sense).
