In reply to Stimulants for Refractory Depression?, posted by jralphc on December 6, 2002, at 12:39:59
> Has anyone out there failed to respond, or had inadequate response, to nearly all meds, but found an unconventional one that works? Or does anyone have experience with Adderall? I'm a little concerned because when I was 41 (I'm now 44) I had a (relatively mild) heart attack and am on Toprol XL for mild hypertension, and Adderall is amphetamine/dextroamphetamine. a stimulant. But I also know there's a strong relation between depression and heart attacks, and I want to feel better emotionally.
There are a lot of people out there who have been helped by augmentation, with lithium, thyroid hormone, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, stimulants, and others. For someone with hypersomnia a stimulant is a natural choice.
Best of luck,
Britt
