In reply to ADD, DEPRESS., DEXIDRINE/ ADS-COMMENTS PLEASE!!, posted by RG on February 1, 2000, at 18:56:47
I am currently on 200 mg wellbutrin 2x day, 20 mg clexa 1x day, and ritalin sr 20mg day. (I just started the ritalin because I have felt that I have ADD too, and finally my psy doc let me.)
I also have depression for my whole life. Most likely caused by my inability to concentrate on school work or friends, although I have learned to compensate for my ADD by keeping lists and reminders and learning to reread sometimes more than twice to remember what I read.
I do not have the same reaction to the stims that you do. I have no problem with sleep. The ritalin does not activate me at all. In fact I feel more relaxed than I ever did in my life. And it seems to help my social anxiety a lot. Depression-wise though I feel the same. Still depressed most of time time, but not suicidal at this time.
Good Luck!
