Does anyone take Adderall XR?

I've struggled with depression for most of my life, went on anti-depressents after I gave birth to my daughter, and was diagnosed with FMS two years ago. I was feeling hopless, and found no joy in anything. My doctor prescribed Adderall XR and I am up to 30mg now. I feel like it's working-but I recently had a big flare-up and can't help to wander if the two are related? Does anyone else take stimulants for apathy, chronic fatigue etc?

I take ritalin for me ADD and it definately helps to not be tired from FMS but sometimes I feel tired from FMS anyway even when my concentration is not poor and I do not take more ritalin as you can really build up a dependence and a lot of negative side effects on your brain that you will regret later in life. Pretty soon you will be taking 100mg and still not feel energized. Be careful.

I take ritalin to help me focus and make it through the day. Somedays I can't tell any difference.
