A member asked:
Can i take a low dose of something like amphetamines for depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would not use that: First line. By the way - are you going to have these prescribed for you? Obtaining amphetamine medications any other way would be both unwise and illegal. I have used amphetamines in patients who did not respond to other alternatives or in patients who were terminal.
