Concerta Er
UpdatedI've been taking Amphetamine Salts 30mg for about 2 years, this had been great for the depression but it sur-
pressed my appetite and effected my taste buds so drastically, I had no interest in food whatsoever. Then my physician suggested concerta ER, but that didn't seem to do much for my depression.

Well neither of them are actual antidepressants, they are actually stimulant medications that are normally used to treat conditions such as ADHD and narcolepsy.

Learn more Concerta details here.
So, it's normal for them to cause appetite suppression, but they don't usually help much with depression, because they can cause irritability, so that will actually backfire in some people.
Have you tried any actual antidepressants?
