Based on this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall

I don't think it would be good for you at all. The BEST answer though, would come from a qualified DOCTOR.

I took it along with antidepressants and it helped a lot. I had to stop though as I have high blood pressure.

I just read the wikipedia page about it and for me it actually helped my anxiety as well as gave me energy.

I've found that it's a really good adjunctive treatment with antidepressants. You just have to take it as directed and never stop it cold turkey. Doing this could actually trigger a major depressive episode. It works well for me to help stabilize my emotions.

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
