Schedule II Prescription Restrictions?

Posted by Buster on July 25, 2001, at 19:13:38

This is my first post to Psychobabble.

I have tried over 20 different medications for depression, several in each class. I have developed adverse reactions (usually migraine headaches) to all of them.

When I asked my internist if he would consider a trial of Adderall for my depression, he told me that Adderall (a Schedule II medication) (1) can only be prescribed by a psychiatrist, and (2) can only be prescribed for people who have been diagnosed with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder.

Is this true?

If what he told me is not correct, but he still will not prescribe this medication (or another psychostimulant) for me, do you have any suggestions about how I can find a doctor who will at least *consider* prescribing psychostimultants for someone with refractory depression?

Thanks for your help,

Buster
