MB --

Yes, definitely work with your MD. It may take a while to fine tune. Wellbutrin is a great option because of lack of sexual side effects, efficacious for ADD and sometimes bipolar. Keep Klonopin pm for RLS/sleep.

If you stay with stimulants, be sure to try dexedrine (different formulation than Adderall)and Ritalin. All 3 have very different impact -- you may find that one of these others is smoother for you and less likely to cause crash/dysphoria. Cylert might be ok as last resort. Problem with amphet/Adderall/ritalin stimulants is they tend to be so blunt -- quick into the system, quick out. When taken with another med/AD, very small dose am seems to work best and minimizes crashing. Another option might be a longer-acting dopaminergic like selegeline or bromocriptine or amantadine which acts more smoothly throughout the day. Small subtheraputic
doses usually work well with an AD.

Best,

Darby
