Dear kathy:
I've been reading this thread with great interest.
I agree that it is a great crime that Doctors will not prescribe stimulants for depression.
I relate to your struggle. I had the most difficult time finding a doctor that was open enough to try something other than Prozac, Paxil, etc. It's been a huge task. To make matters worse, there was only one Psychiatrist in the city I live in that was even taking new patients and I had to wait 6 weeks to see him.
It is crazy!At the end, i went to the ER and found a semi- decent Doctor. He's not a psychiatrist but he has been very open- minded. I think he got sick and tired of seing me in his office every other week.
Anyway, I wish you all the luck in the world. I know it will work out for you.
Don't give up, no matter what. As long as you are willing to keep trying, I believe you will find the right Doctor.Please keep posting.
Good Luck to you,
Nat
