RJ: One of the most important things you can do is find a good psychiatrist who knows what they're doing. Someone also mentioned getting your GP to prescribe meds. That's always an option but be sure they are well versed in psychiatric medication. A GP once prescribed the wrong meds for me and it was a nighmare I wouldn't want to repeat. So I went and found myself a wonderful psychiatrist. Granted, everyone's experience is different, a friend of mine got her meds from a GP and couldn't be happier.
Even if it's simply the lack of stimulants that's making you depressed it is your pdoc's responsibility to treat that so you don't have to suffer the way you are now.
Go shopping for a new pdoc. There are SO many different meds out there, you'll be able to find one.
I wish you well.
