Is there some sort of mood-stabilizer that can be taken with adderall?

Thank you. I was diagnosed with Major Depression more than 20 years ago, and with PTSD maybe 6 years ago. I ve been taking a variety of anti-depressants such as prozac, paxil, effexor-these are usually what I go back and forth and back agaqin, to get some kind of hope and energy to re-engage in life. I also use alcohol too much,way too much, and have been in re-hab type facilities of my own volition for many times over the years. I asked my MD last year for adderall, which I then took with the effexor and/or prozac, as I simply had to get some motivation to move. It all increases my anxiety, which is when I usually drink, altho I take clonazepam, one-half, usually of a .o5mg script, usually 2-4 times a day. My question is (after all that): is there an anti-depressant, maybe in the MAOI family (I had fantastic results from parnate and one other I can t recall, when I was first diagnosed, but the food restrictions were difficult for me, and as I felt better, I went off them, went back to University, etc) but then prozac came to be...and the other ssri s, etc) Is there anything I can take with the adderall that will help me have any kind of interest in life/people/whatever, that won t increase my anxiety, won t kill me, annd I could continue with once I gain some equilibrium in my life? While I have alienated many people when I ve had too much, I know that the alcohol is not why I m so screwed up and unhappy, my current shrink told me that I drink BECAUSE I m so unhappy...I am a solitary drinker and am alone 99% of the time. I need to change this, BIG TIME. I haven t seen my cousellor or shrink for almost a year now, for countless reasons, but will be seeing both before the end of the month. All I d really like to know is , do they make some sort of mood-stabilizer that can be taken with adderall?

Hello ..Adderall is Amphitamine which is a psychostimulant. You have taken almost all sort of treatment including MOAI which is out dated in todays era. You have written that you are heavy alcohol user and that too you drink most of the time alone and which is very bad condition. Persons who drink alone absteinance is difficult what i have seen in my sort clinical practice. If you want to get rid of depression permanently you have to quit alcohol because alcohol itself is depressant. SSRI are first line treatment for depression and psychostimulant has been given to enhance your mood. You can take mood stabiliser to augment effect of antidepressants.
