> did the parnate did nothing for your ADD ? it
i dunno it probably helped it a bit ... but my ADD is really bad. like i know people who can work without any meds -- i could *never* do that... like i would fall asleep at work if i tried
ummm... i actually think parnate worked ok for ADD for like the first month, and then the stimulant effect started to wane
also my dose was low (30 mg) so maybe a higher dose would treat your ADD? ... read the archives, see what other people think (i remember reading one dude who tried many stims and parnate and said parnate is more peripheral stimulation than central and he didn't like it)
>seems to have some stimulant properties and a molecolar structure very similar to anphetamine ... didn'it help at all ? how are going on with yourit definately helped... i mean just by relieving my depression it increased my concentration ... but i still did the clock watching at work that i don't seem to do on ritalin
>Prozac + stim combo ? (normal libido ?) last but
i'm taking celexa + ritalin, and i think the celexa is bad for me... typical SSRI apathy, no libido, sleep 12 hours a day, not too motivated, no positive thoughts about the future ......
i think dopamine = pleasure right now, serotonin=positive thoughts about doing other things
i seem to have the dopamine ok, life ain't bad, i enjoy things, but i'm lacking the serotonin-positivityi imagine this can be fixed with switching to another SSRI?
>not least, which stim are you taking ? sorry for the questionnaire ;-)
methylphenidate/ritalin
dude it makes my day when i can help out a bro in duress .. i am happy to answer any questions i can
