Thanks so much for the info!!!
I'm taking generic adderall right now and I couldn't
understand why it makes me feel calm! (Well, still
don't understand why, but I least I no longer think
I'm imagining it.) It seems that almost all of my
anxiety is gone. Only problem is my mood is still
totally up and down. I'm actually taking this for
depression based only on the fact that my sister
and uncle have responded amazingly well to it and
nothing else.I'd really be interested in others who have similar
effects. I'm only at 10mg (morning and noon) but
wondering what else I might add for the mood if
increasing the dose doesn't help. (STarted at 2.5mg
once daily since my pdoc is afraid of mania. Very
slow process at 2.5mg changes...)A question: I hear so many "bad" things about the
stimulants I really worry that this is all a temporary
"high" and I will crash soon. Given that it is
calming and not activating for me does this make
it less likely to be a "high". It's the only thing
I've found to have an effect so far and it scares
me to death that its a temporary fix.Thanks for any help!
