In reply to SSRI+Stimulant-anyone?, posted by paulbwell on January 21, 2010, at 9:27:40
I was on Prozac & Dexedrine for years. I think SSRI+Stimulant combinations are great if you have ADD and Depression. They sort of balance each other out. SSRIs sometimes cause apathy and amotivational symtpoms with long term use by decreasing dopaminergic transmission. Stimulants alone tend to cause anxiety in those prone to it (and a lot of people with depression are). You sound like you're doing really well, that's fantastic. Especially if its allowing you to reduce you Valium dose.
