In reply to Stimulants as monotherapy for Depression?, posted by MB on July 17, 2000, at 12:06:34
To add to what James has said.
Stims are not used for monotherapy because they do not work as treatment for depression. For some they work in combo with an AD.
If they worked, they probably would not be addictive at a proper dose. This seems to be the case when they are used in a combination regimen.
one can certainly be agitated on a stim & still very depressed.
