Re: AD's and Dopamine Agonists? What to try next

Don't rule out the older stimulants, particularly for your situation -- generics are great for folks with no insurance. Methylphenidate (ritalin, for those who don't recognise the name) comes in a slow release formula that doesn't quite kick-start you like the regular formula does ... while it's a bit milder on the system, I agree with what Noa has said about her own experiences with it in that 20mg SR is not as effective as 20mg of the regular stuff.

Which isn't necessarily such a bad thing.

Anyway, I started it with nortriptyline and now with desipramine, and it's been working fairly well with either for me.

cheers,
bob
