So here is my dilemma. I am prescribed Adderall for my ADD, and I take other meds for my BP. The Adderall doesn't seem to be really helping my ADD, but, it helps keep the depression away, and helps me keep going (not in a hyper way)

If I don't take it, I am tired, unmotivated, and pretty much depressed.

My question is...It seems like the Adderall is a HUGE help with my depression (I am prone to major depression). Is this OK, or should I be taking something else to get that same effect?

Anyone else take Adderall for depression??

I am going to ask my pdoc (she is WONDERFUL) on the 31st, I just wanted to see if anyone else gets the same effect from Adderall???
