Re: Doctor Reluctant to Treat the Comorbidities

[Anonymous]

i’m really lucky (well, sort of) in that i presented with depression, and got my diagnosis after already being on a bunch of depression meds for absolutely yoinks, so my doctor is treating the two alongside each other and wisely isn’t messing too much with my antidepressants.

i’m not throwing that in to annoy you, but cos what stuck in my head, librarian_chef, was this: “I haven’t been able to tolerate Concerta”…. have you tried any other drugs for the ADHD? some of the antidepressants are used off-label for ADHD- maybe you could talk with your doctor about trying something like bupropion- which has been shown in studies to be effective for adult ADHD, but which is also commonly prescribed as an antidepressant…… sort of effectively killing two birds with one stone? if the outcome is positive, i think thats what matters deep down.
