Adderall makes me full blown manic whenever I take it. I'm surprised you're able to take it with only 250mg of Lamictal.

The mania I got from it wasn't fun either. I stayed up for nearly 4 days straight and I was hallucinating really badly. I was also freaking the f#ck out the entire time. So nope, I don't use it to treat depression.

Anyway, to answer your other question, I don't think using Adderall to treat depression is necessarily the "right" thing to do. I realize that meds sometimes are used off label, but I would first ask about getting meds that are intended to treat depression. I would exhaust every depression med class before I looked into stimulants. So... basically try SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, APs, AAPs, etc.. Ask to fiddle around with your AD dosages if you can, or maybe start something like Latuda or Abilify

It sounds like you've built a strong dependency on Adderall, which isn't good
