Okay, here's my idea, now that my Desoxyn, after like 9 months, is causing me to have some sort of depression or social lability or whatever (when I talk to people on it, I feel like I want to cry, even though can't, and people think I'm depressed, and I think I am)
I'm happy since I stopped (don't tell my doc) a few days ago. And I ordered some Hupergyzine-A (sp) and will see how that works, along with some Nicorette gum (hard to explain to CVS guy why I was buying it and never smoked before).
Um, I've started using the Hup-A at 50 mcg and used a Nicorette gum today, but don't trust myself... heh... so won't report on their affected. But Desoxyn definitely has been making my short-term memory closer to zero lately, so I'm afraid I should switch to Adderall soon.
But let me see here... down the road, let's say, trying Straterra, given that I've heard reports of it regulating people's desire to sleep and wake consistently, and my sleep doc wants me to do that everyday (including weekends) and so far I can barely sleep at all without Ambien (which I must order online, given that sleep docs are less than cool).
Well, after "stabalizing" whatever dose with Straterra I can tolerate (up to 80mg, hopefully) I plan to intro Wellbutrin 2 months later, in addition to remaining on Adderall (or god forbid these "doctors" keep me on Desoxyn, those meanies! I hate this stuff!)
Ever since I started the stimulants, Ritalin to Dex to Adderall to Desoxyn, I've told my first doc, my mind needs stims at different periods like cars need tire rotation.... and he listened.
Then I got a new set of pdocs and sleep docs and now they've had me on Desoxyn for almost a year!! And my hypothesis, sadly, has proven itself true-- my brain can't just constantly get bolted by the same old set of batteries called Desoxyn...
