i have taken both ritalin and dexedrine. I find the ritalin has a cleaner effect on my depression. The amphetamines tend to affect my mood in a negative way.
For me, the depression is comprised of sensory overload. Too much light, too much sound, too much emotion, almost like a mixed episode.
However, the ritalin (usually taken at noon) calms everything down. All of a sudden I can look subjectively at my problems and my life. It helps me disconect from the noise.
The reason I like the stimulants better than antidepressants is because they don't make me sacrifice control over my brain. Whenever I take an SSRI I just feel so out of control.
I do realize that the depression is not eliminated, but just easier to tollerate.
