Hello thanks for asking from HCM

You have been taking Adderall twice a day which was prescribed to you since last 7 months. Now you have depressed feelings. Oxyelite pro is a fat burner and it consists of yohimbin. The drug is also an activating substance like adderall. As per my opinion taking oxielite pro along with Adderall will result in intense activation and precipitation of anxiety. So you should avoid it. As you are taking adderall continuously so it appears that the reason for your depression is development of tolerance to drug. If the depression is distressing I would advise you to consult your psychiatrist for treatment. SSRIs like Sertraline, Paroxetine etc are commonly used in depression.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
