UUUMMM...........I completely agree with GTRPLAYER, eventhough, stimulants can be risky(if not, outright dangerous) to those of us that are addiction prone/addictive behaviour types(yours truly).Nevertheless,with a careful plan suggested by my doc., involving a supportive family member,who keeps my med. and gives me one every morning,As a precaution.My illness takes enough energy and space in my head,I simply don't have room or the strength,to deal with the horrors and insanity of being actively addicted( been there,and barely escaped by the skin of my teeth).I also live alone,make just enough money to get by,have very few friends(mostly because I find it very hard to make new ones these days and, no I'm not a twisted sociopath,for those considering that right now) rarely go on dates,or,for that matter, have very little female "interaction" (You know what I mean) basically meaning,one dash above "zero interaction" and believe me it is NOT by choice.So,to the med. advice,hands down stimulants have worked best for me over the years at keeping my a.d.d. and to some degree my depression,manageable.You're probably wondering,Why is he going so far off topic,almost babbling ,to seemingly admit being a loser,a loner,and a social misfit?Well,it's like this: You(I say this out of understanding,hopefully support,and experience.I absolutely mean NO ill will,or offense), according to how I am understanding your post,are desperate, this is understandable I have been there many times myself.So,after I read it again it became clear to me(and I could be wrong) you believe that your depression and your A.D.D. has become the main source for all your troubles,and if you could just find that one magic medicine to ease and control those two issues all the rest of your prob. would right themselves,and eventually vanish.I used to think that also,and I finally,recently found my magic pill,so now only my a.d.d. and mood swings are better than they have been in years,but as you read above everything else i ignored stayed exactly the same ,true,finding the right med. can help fix those prob.Unfortunately I found out the hard way that it is simply a factor in the complex equation that makes you,you and me,me etc. I realized that if all I ever did was fix pieces of my broken life and never looked at the "whole" of it as the miraculous wonder of a gift that it is,rather than a curse we all think it is sometimes,to which no pill,cure,or money could ever fix,I'd never get to know the balance,the beauty,real living,ever.I guess I'm saying try to spread your faith and hope out a little, let it embrace all parts"you",good and bad,the healing and the peace will find a home in you,if let it,because you are worthy and good,just like every living soul on this planet,some just don't know it yet........Thanks.
