> Did Adderall improve your focus/motivation at all?
I've only been on it for a few days, but no, doesn't do anything but make my heart beat faster.
> Is your pdoc open to prescribing MAOIs?
Perhaps, she said they're more effective than 1st line treatments, so maybe.
> Why wouldn't s/he prescribe a TCA in conjunction with a mood stabilizer, if mood instability was the issue?
I don't know. She said they're not much more effective than SSRIs, but my point is they work in a different way, and could be more effective for me. Perhaps, are antipsychotics mood stabilizers or just stuff like lithium, depakote, carbablahblahblah and all those other drugs I know nothing about? I've never heard they help with anhedonia though, I thought they work by slowing the mind down.
