Hey bb,
You may not be familiar with Matt's story, but I am. He has been posting here for about 7 years. He has had problems with stimulant abuse and attends NA meetings daily now. He admits he has abused dexedrine in the past, possibly MPH, too, I can't recall. Regardless, his current doc will never prescribe him a stimulant for his ADD at this point in time due to the addiction issues/label. It's unfortunate, but true.
MAtt has a complex situation with family problems, doctor issues and overlapping, possibly comorbid conditions such as ADD, depression, anxiety and perhaps another/more specific mood disorder (not sure of exact dx currently). I know his anxiety is overwhelming at times to where he cannot function at a job, etc.
Just thought I'd let you know.
(PS - Matt - Sorry to talk about you like you're not here or something...just thought I'd summarize for bb to save you the effort...hope it's okay - 10der)
MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)
Meds: Strattera 80 mg q day
