Yeah...I think it may have a lot to do with any underlying issues. When I took stims, it was first RX'd for ADHD; then the dosage was upped and some antidepressants were added to deal with treatment-resistant depression. Soo...when I withdrew, it sucked b/c I was still depressed anyway, and to add to it I was quickly withdrawn from 60mgs/Adderall daily. Not fun, not fun at all. I've read case studies where people taking stims for depression end up requiring ever increasing doses (even in the absence of abuse or misuse) and have hardcore relapses when the stim is withdrawn.
