In reply to How can I convince doctor to Prescribe Stimulant?, posted by G-man885858 on March 4, 2010, at 22:49:07
It's going to be hard to get a doctor to prescribe a stimulant because you don't have a history of ADHD / ADD. However, if you state your case plainly, that you've tried all these X, Y, and Z antidepressants without success, then you may have better luck. I understand your frustration because pdocs hand them out to "hyperactive" kids without a second thought. Anyway, I don't know what else to suggest other than to keep trying until you find a willing doctor, which you should eventually find because I do believe pdocs prescribe them for TX resistant cases of depression.
Good luck.
