I am new here, please read this and give advice

Posted by Jonny on September 5, 2002, at 14:09:51

Hello, I have been having some mild mental and emotional problems, and want to start experimenting with psychological drugs. My condition is a combination of mild depression/fatigue/lack of motivation. I've been on an SSRI for some months now, which has done a moderate job at best. It was prescribed by my general physician. I want to try taking an amphetamine drug like adderall or ritalin to cure the motivation/energy issue. I feel that my depression probs actually stem from not being able to accomplish as much as I want, and addressing my motivation and such would therefore be more effective than addressing the depression itself. SO, do I need to get a psychiatrist? Will they help me with any drugs I want to try? Because if I take the amphetamine, i don't want to stay on it forever until I try these many other medicines that are available nowadays. I feel like I shouldn't ask for an amphetamine drug because it's only 'supposed' to be used for ADD. Well, anything you have to say I will read -Bye
