> I was always berated for having no willpower....not overweight just lazy and scattered... so ritalin was a godsend... I am trying them all to see which is best and am now trying dexedrine spansules. I like it so far, less control of concentration than ritalin but more energy.... adderall is next.

Kate,

I tried Ritalin first (about 7 months ago now) and felt teriffic for about a month and then felt it wasn't helping as much as it was previously. I then went to Adderall and find it much more effective in that it helps my overall mood and ability to multi-task without getting irritated. When I was on the Ritalin I would be down in the basement labeling rubbermaid containers like I was in freaking Disney World, it was nice because I think I accomplished more in one week on Ritalin than I did in the prior 3 years of my life. Anyway, I then asked to switch to Adderall just to see how different it was. I felt almost euphoric as first . . . don't know if it was the finally feeling normal or if it was true euphoria. I've been on Adderall for about 4-5 months now and haven't had any real tolerance issues. I think people think they're tolerant because they lose the initial euphoria after a week or month and then increase. I did increase from 20-30 in the first month and some days am tempted to take more, but I know that that would be setting myself up for a bad pattern (besides I would run out at the end of the month and be non-functioning!).

I don't think Adderall poops out any quicker than anyother stim (at least I have yet to hear that). I have taken a couple weekend holidays from Adderall (sucked - felt like my old self, not necessarily withdrawal, just feeling unmotivated again). Since combining the Klonopin with the Adderall 2 months ago I haven't had to take any holidays and the Adderall seems effective every time. I really think that benzos and stims can work synergestically (sp?). I know for myself I'm feeling better than I ever have - relaxed and calm yet focused and able to do what I need to do without tormenting myself about it. I feel like I finally feel like the rest of the normal world (whomever that is?)

Take care,

Katalina
