Hi. Does anyone else rely on ADHD stimulants for clinical depression to make them able to function? I've tried everything, all the meds, Inc ECT. This makes me function but exhausts me. TIA. And you know what, sometimes i don't feel like functioning but i can't turn my brain off with the ADHD stimulants .

Sounds like a med review is needed? @Former-Member . Either it's not a good fit, or the dosage is not right.
