Like a rock. I'm a fast metabolizer. At one time, I was on 300mg WellSR, 60mg Ritalin(later, 150mg Adderall SR w/ the same amt of WellSR), 20 mg of Lexapro and 3mg Klonopin. My doc said she wouldn't go to 150 on Adderall till after my physical with an EKG. I took my morning meds, had the EKG(completely normal) and she said,'You're checked out on 150.'
I've reduced Adderall to 60mg a day and am taking 150WellXL now but the other two are the same.
They call me treatment resistant.
When I took Amitriptyline, I was at 250mg a day. The PDR says 150mg outpatient, up to 300 inpatient.
I've never been hospitalized.
I have a physical yearly with blood work, including a liver panel done. So far so good and I've been on meds for 20 years. My BP is normal, pulse, normal.
Now, if I drink too much coffee, I'll get spun up pretty good. I'm up late because I took a long nap today.
My liver checks out but it probably doesn't enjoy the workload. It's either this or the alternative, which I can promise you is not pretty.
