Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Adderall have very different mechanism of action and not known to interfere with repeatative transcranial magnatic stimulation (rTMS).

Although it is always advisable to stick to the prescribed dose as there are obvious side effects with increased dose, fortunately adderall does not affect depression in negative way. The attention and concentration offered by adderall reduces suffering caused by depression to some extent if not more.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
