In reply to psychostim for SSRI apathy?, posted by bookgurl99 on September 21, 2002, at 13:32:00
Hi, Some days when I'm really depressed, I take my Adderall and it gets me out of the house and is one of the main drugs in my combo that makes me more interested in things.
Example: Haven't taken Adderall dose, go to the grocery store because I need ding dongs bread, bagels and Powerbars. Don't want to be there, get half the things I need, walk out.Take Adderall, go to the store, spend time looking around, interested in everything except the music. Talk to people and am curious about things. That's it! It gives me more of a childlike curiosity about things.
Make sense? BUT, I still have problems having fun, going out, exercising. It doesn't totally take the apathy away. In fact, I can stay home on the computer or whatever and kind of enjoy it but I know I need to get out more.
Hope this helps.
