Somehow I missed that you were already taking Adderal. How long have you been on it? Well I guess my guess was the same as your pdoc anyway.
I did use cocaine. I used it for three years like a medication. Almost exclusively at work to get through and function.I always get worse around November too. I used to end up in the hospital by December. I really think it is a seasonal componment to an already existing depression.
Strattera is marketed as the first non-stimulant ADHD medication. From what I have read it might not chemically be a stimulant but it acts somewhat like it. I thought I might try it because I need a stimulant and am unable to take them at all. I probably will not be able to take the Strattera either but I have a better chance. It was origonally going to be marketed as an antidepressant.
Good luck with the Adderal. Keep us posted.irene
