I'm on 20mg2x of adderal along with 300 of lamictal and 20 of paxil.I've been taking adderal for the last two weeks,This week I increased it from ten2x to 20mg.It REALLY started to work, helped with the anhedonia,confusion,concentration and seemed to augment the paxil becuase all my quasi ocd was gone. But when it wears off I'm worse off than before I ever took it and I don't want to get dependent on this stuff.I get not only depressed but completly disoriented,can hardly speak,it feels like I have dementia.The awful thing is that it wears off durring the night as I'm about to go to sleep so I'm in this just horrific state,curled up in a ball,just waiting to fall asleep to get away from the confusion.Today I took the adderal and it's not working at all.this is exactly what happened when I was on the 10 but what I increased it to twenty everything was good.What should I do,keep increasing it?It seems to dangerous to do,especially since it's debatable whether my depression is a psychotic depression due to the severity of my cognitive problems.Stimulants can cause permanent psychosis,NO THANK YOU.Any ideas?
