> If Adderall is helping, but causing side effects, why not try a differet pstim?
> I've tried Concerta and I really didn't like it. It made me anti-social and apprehensive.
> For me, Adderall was completely intolerable. It gave me dry mouth, racing heart, high blood pressure, and a constatnt stressed out feeling.
> Same here, but for me the stress has not been constant-it has come in waves.
> Dex is much less jittery, and Ritalin is by far the most gentle in terms of side effects, and the most potent in terms of anti-depressant effects of the three (for me anyway).
> I've spoken about dex with my pdoc, and he said once I stabilize on lithium, if I need a pstim again we'll go right to dex.
