My boyfriend is well read on AD's and meds (he's on Prozac 20mg for anxiety) and argues that EVERYONE would feel better on stimulants. He also said that once I start taking them I'll never want to stop. I also got very anxious (panic-attacky and insomniac) when I tried Wellbutrin [300 mg, divided doses] last Fall.

As far as wanting to take them for the rest of your life because they make you feel better... He implies that's a bad thing. Does that apply to his prozac also?
I don't mean to be too glib, addiction is certainly something to keep in mind, but so is feeling well/healthy. michael
