Is my ADHD Medicine contributing to my depression lately?

I am on Ederol, and I am currently taking 2 .5 miligram capsules a day, from the moment I wake up at 5-6 am. I havent had bouts of depression recently, since before I started taking it, 3 years ago, and it seems as though it has suddenly started kicking up again, last night, I had thoughts of suicide (for which I had absolutely no reason to, since im still young and have a full life ahead of me) So I thought it was linked to my medicine.

As for my daily/weekly lifestyle, it more or less revolves around me going to school from 8-12, going to work as a Krogers cashier from 2-10 (depends on days, most days are 4-6 hours long) and then coming home and playing World of Warcraft for the next few hours, then off to be to repeat the cycle.

Yes, I have control over urges, and I can recognize when they happen, and im concerned if it has anything to do with the medicine im taking.

My next prescription refill is in two weeks, So ill be able to contact my doctor then, im just wondering what your opinions are on my problem.

2 as in two .5 miligram capsules.

talk with your doctor immediately, especially about your suicidal thoughts..please.

Stop playing World of Warcraft first of all.

Call your dr, that's not normal
