Hi again.
Well I used Ritalin and Ritalin SR for depression and it was a disaster. I would crash so hard that I wanted to self injure. I took Adderall XR and it was a god send. It wore off a little too early in the evening but I didn't come down with a crashing blow. But then it was taken off the market in Canada in February. I haven't been the same since. I suppose I could import it from the U.S. I have to go through whole request process with Health Canada. However, it was pulled off the shelves because children had suffered strokes and some had died in the U.S. so now as I write this I realise that there no hope in getting Health Canada to approve the request. Funny how typing something out can make thoughts so much clearer.Hope this helps.

> Thanks, Maxime! I´ve checked out your link - It´s really useful. By the way, I would like to hear about experiencies from people who used these drugs for depression too. Major depression (also chronic "minor" depression) are very common in ADHD, and as an adult ADHD I can say that treating ADHD (symptomatic control) is what prevents me to fall in depression. So both disorders may be highly related.
