My opinion is that they do. :)
> For atypical depression MAOIs have been proven to be most effective ones. I also believe that atypicals are very sensitive to CNS depressants like alcohol, benzo and other staff (stimulants are also depressants).
I've been told by a mental health professional specifically that I do NOT have atypical depression. I guess my other symptoms don't match it or something. I also have or have had some symptoms that don't match major depressive disorder at all. And one thing underlying all this, that I neglected to mention, is probably the autoimmune "lupus-like syndrome" (as described by my former rheumatologist) I was treated for a while back. Chronic fatigue is a common symptom of lupus and is treated with stimulants.
