I'm getting sucked down in the quicksand of worsening depression. For a few years now, I've used only amitriptyline at a modest dose of 50 mg every eve. Prior to that I was put on a parade of meds, most of which were useless. So I accepted that most of the solution was just not going to be pharmaceutical.

But I'm becoming a zombie, and I thought maybe a stimulant would help. I was given Ritalin for a few months back some years ago. It did seem to help me wake up in the morning. Not being able to wake up and stay awake is becoming a huge problem for me.

Does anyone out there have anything encouraging to say about stimulants helping them? I'm desperate for some kind of help.
