> JohnL, I think you hit the nail on the head regarding some depressions needing a stimulant. Nothing worked for me until my Pdoc prescribed Adderall. I take 10 mgs three times per day, and while it does not have a dramatically noticeable effect, I do *feel* a definite improvement in my mood (I've actually experienced happiness a few times recently!). I have more motivation and have even started taking a course in creativity (based on "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron) at my church. Having tried so many different medications, including a different stimulant(Ritalin), which were ineffective, I cannot say often enough, "Give Adderall a try, it might be just what you need!"

CarolAnn,
Do you take Adderall mainly for ADD and have depression as a co-existing condition as a result of dealing with the ADD? Or just for depression alone? Have you taken many ADs, in different classes, like the rest of us, until you tried the stimulant route?
Appreciate any info you can provide.
