Hi Roman and all!
Like you, I'm desperately searching for help with ADD/Depression. My latest was a trial with Adderall which makes me feel like I've been shot with a tranquilizer dart. Which is pretty much how I feel without it too, well, not so much *drugged*, but mentally detached, physically fatigued, and unable to function so that sleep is the only escape from the daily frustration and resultant depression. So needless to say, the Adderall has not been an improvement. (heavy sigh) I have tried Prozac- had a BAD reaction to it, my whole body swelled up. Wellbutrin (which after the prozac incident, I didn't give a fair chance and it has been suggested again and is my next plan of attack), Effexor- did nothing. We only recently decided to approach my condition as ADD rather than just depression, and I pushed my doctor for a stimulant, as I feel the lethargy and mental fog play a HUGE role in my depressed state.
My question for you all is what are some of these things you speak of here, such as: Piracetam, Serzone, 5-htp, SAM-e etc... and where does one get them? The only one I'm familiar with here is St. Johns...Thank you!
