Aspartame messes with the brain cells. . .Like we*need* that.> Stimulants in general shouldn't be taken when there is unmedicated (or poorly medicated) anxiety or agitated depression.
> If he is stuck in an "analysis paralysis" then stimulants will worsen his overall condition. The affective difficulties should be treated completely and to remission before stimulants are used.
In my experience, both can be done together. . .Unless you are using the AD alone to titrate dose.
Also, Dexedrine ORDERS and SMOOTHS my thought process, rather than increasing rumination. I know, this seems counter-intuitive, but that's the whole point of stimulants. . for long and interesting reasons / theories I won't go into here.
