Is it wrong to use a stimulant for depression?

Posted by Maxime on March 12, 2006, at 19:08:29

Hi
Is there anything wrong with treating depression with a stimulant. What would be the reasons that someone would advise against it.
Adderall XR helped me a lot. But now my pdoc doesn't want me depending on stimulants. Is it any different to depend on a stimulant than an antidepressant. I mean if it works, then why not?
