Show him the Johnratey.com paper reviewing treatment options tha mention s the "smoothness" of dexedrine and ask if he'd let you ytry it for a month to see if it is better,> > I had the same eperience with Adderall as you did. I was..a mix of things-depressed, irratable, tired, apathetic. I just felt like crap with nothing positive.

> Really? That's good to know. Whenever I mention Dexedrine my shrink just says that Adderall is very similar blah blah blah... he doesn't seem too thrilled with the idea of me trying it. His hesitance could also have to do with the fact that my other meds are not stable either and he doesn't want to screw around too much with too many things.

> It's hard to explain how I felt on Adderall, but it was like I'd feel okay, and then all of a sudden feel this sense of horrible despair and despondency and want to kill myself. I felt very gloomy. It was really awful. I don't think that I felt especially agitated, but I felt like I was on some kind of weird emotional roller coaster and it was very abnormal-feeling, even for me.
