I've been taking SSRIs since Prozac came out, around 1987. Around 1982 I added stimulants
(Ritalin, Adderall, Desoxyn, and now Dexedrine tablets. The stimulants maintain their activating and anorectic properties when taken with an SSRI. I happened to hear this on NPR at the same time that I
was telling someone else of my experience, but not a word about it since then. If the FDA would like to observe my "withdrawal reaction, drug seeking behavior, and physical discomfort", they are welcome to observe me for one week (provided the results are publicized, so that others can benefit from my "addiction" experience) before I resume Dexedrine and get on with my life. As I have experienced
this already, my only reaction will be getting very little accomplished, increased depression, and eating more.
I am told that some people become "addicted" to stimulants, but I have no experience with that
phenomena.
