I am 74, and have depression,as my mother did. I have tried many antidepressants, Wellbutrin was the best,but psychiatrist put me on highest dose, 450,had a seizure. Started on several, didn't do much. Pristiq is good,but my psychiatrist added, Adderall 20 mg daily. OMG I felt so good, I went shopping, visiting talking on phone, neighbors great feeling,but now I fear I can't get off the Adderall. I have dropped it to 10mg a day, but what am I going to do. If I stop, I will lay in the bed all day,depressed.All my Drs say it is ok to take Adderall but can anyone suggest a stimulant to make me get out of bed. I feel, I am hooked, and will not be able to get off. I can't exercise, have stints in bladder, but hallelujah I have just learned SUDUKO.
I MAY TRY ACUPUNCTURE.
THANKS
