> Hi Anita. I'm wondering: have you ever tried the sustained-release preparation of Dexedrine ("spansules")? Supposedly it's less of a roller coaster. Ritalin, amphetamine, and Parnate are all pretty short-acting so it's easy to see how they could do this to a person.

Well, I was just keeping with the party line. I've never heard of any dangerous interactions either, but all the literature on MAOIs still say
you shouldn't use bupropion with them.No, I haven't tried the dexedrine spansules, but I did try Adderall a while back, and oddly it wasn't
very helpful. Wellbutrin's keeping me awake for now :-)anita
