Right now I take 20mg Adderall in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon. When it poops out at the end of the day, boy do I feel crappy. I feel crappy in betwen doses, too. My doc did mention that there were other stims to try (Desoxyn, Dexadrine, Dexadrine Spansules, Ritilin, and he even mentioned an SR-Adderall). I'm not taking it for depression (I take Serzone for that) but I've noticed the Adderall works better for depression than any antidepresant made (except for the fact that tolorance to the mood lift has kicked in after a couple weeks and the depression is back; still titrating up on the Serzone). Right now, I'm just feeling a lot of peripheral effects (could it be from the l-amphetamine in the mix) and a lot uf "up and down" between doses and at night (very moody and cranky in the evening when I'm "comming down" for the night. Should I ask to try a different pstim like one the one's I've listed above, or are they all as see-saw as the Adderall?

Plus I take 2400mg Neurontin/day and somewhere between 2mg and 2.5mg of Klonopin/day (if that helps with any suggestions). Would Mirapex or l-DOPA keep me from "using up" all my dopamine?
