> Eaxctly and the opposite is true also. If I've been on 14 different antidepressants, not to mention the other bonus meds they've tried to add to the mix, without success then I'm pretty well done with a/d's for now. Get me on a stimulant that works for me at the correct dosage and then re evaluate whether I am still having problems. I've done it their way for years, it's about time I'm going to stick up for myself I believe. I'm not opposed to doing something else if a stimulant alone isn't enough, but I really want them to prove to me that a stimulant alone won't work for me.

> Guess we'll see if he'll go for it next week.Your in my field girl. I tried 6 ADs and hated every 1 of em'. i take Ritalin and with coffee and nicotine often has me in the 'zone' where alls cool.
ADs make me dumb, and depressed, funny that ha?
I think you MUST insist on an a stimulant which agrees with you:
-Ritalin-MANY forms
-Adderall-IR@SR
-Dexedrine IR@SR
-Desoxynand PERHAPS a MS-low dose AP, or benzo if need be.
You sound like you have been thru the bloody med 'merry go round' you have an idea what works for u?-yake power.
A stimulant+benzo, or MS can be the lest SE ridden treatment.
God knows i'v taken enouht crap~Docs advice, to know that they MAY know medicine, but DON"T KNOW ME!!!
