Stimulants as an Antidepressant

Posted by sedona on July 28, 2004, at 15:57:47

I have been having no luck with Wellbutrin, SSRI's, or Lamictal. My doctor added a small dose of Klonopin to help with anxiety and Ritalin to help with concentration and energy. The antidepresants have not helped my depression nor has the Lamictal. My doctor suggested trying an MAOI or a tricyclic, but I am not very enthusiastic about them since many of them have the side-effects of weight gain and fatigue. Both of which have been the side-effects I have had the most problems with. The only drugs that have helped me at all are Klonopin and Ritalin. So, my question would be to others out there who have had little success with AD's: Has anyone used a stimulant as their main AD and if so which ones have helped?

Thank you
