Suggest Alternative Medication To Adderall For Depression

Hi Dr. Rynne, My name is David Pruitt. I m 62 years old and have been on adderall for about 7 years. MY doctor moved away and the clinic assigned me to a lady nurse practioner who doesn t like adderall and stopped writing the perscription. I had blood tests done, EKG, everything was good. I don t drink, smoke, don t smoke pot or drugs of any kind. I ve been off 2 month, and it takes 2 to 3 months to get an appointment with another dr. and all I m doing is laying around all day, can you help. I have depression and this is the only thing that has ever helped me
