> Hi Jerry,
> It's good to see you. I was wondering what meds you're on (or not on)? If you're on meds, do you think they might be aggravating your depression? I do remember seeing your name on some threads about stimulants. Stimulants can be very helpful, but after a while, they, too, can cause depression, especially when they wear off. I know this post probably belongs over on the med board, but this is where I've seen you lately, so I'm posting here.

> SarahHI Sarah-
Here's what I'm on:
Lexapro, Adderall, Ativan, hydrocodone (an opiate), Seroquel + Ambien for sleep.
My problem is not the meds so much as me not taking them always on schedule. Somedays I take them while other days I stay in bed and refuse to take them - even though I know they will help make me feel better.
Oh and the opiate - prescribed by my psychiatrist to help with the depression (long story, but interesting).
Jerry
