" I didn't take it for my depression, but for my attention deficit disorder - I liked it, it makes you feel good. However, it didn't do anything for my concentration, which is the area I really needed more help in. Also, it tends to wear off fast. Nonetheless, I liked this medication!!! "

" My husband was on Adderall for a while for his depression, but it didn't seem to help him much. At first it helped with his concentration, but the effects it had wore off after a while. I've heard good things about it, though, in helping with depression. "
