Stimulants Depression... past or present

Posted by Mr.Scott on May 29, 2005, at 21:25:42

Hi,
I'd like to start a discussion on stimulants.
Can you share your experience using stimulants particularly ritalin and amphetamine in the treatment of depression or really in the treatment of anything for that matter.
Dose, effect, length of time, efficacy...
Here's my 2cents worth..
I currently use Adderall XR 40mg daily (tried up to 60 but found side effects limiting) to augment a touch of Zoloft 25mg. I also use .75mg of clonazepam daily (hate it!) and periodically use outpatient right unilateral ECT if things get downright awful. I've taken the adderall for about 5 months and have developed tolerance to some of its effects, but not all.
