I did a little experiment (only took one day, and my husband hates when I do it w/o talking to my psychopharmacologist) and went down to 250mg one night. Not such a good idea--could tell it wasn't enough by how vehemently I reacted to something that doesn't normally bother me! I'm thinking I need to be @375 at least through the end of August. The sunlight definitely gives me more energy/hypomania. This winter, though, now that I know the Adderall helped, I'll be watchful come October/November, maybe starting then @ 2.5mg.

The last time I was on Adderall (a few months ago), I was just taking 2.5mg with a little Effexor and it worked OK-I just get too much muscle tension from stims (and WB).
