So my new regimen is as follows:
>
> -Klonopin 5mg q8h
> -Adderall 30mg 7AM, noon, 5PM and 10PM
>
> I also switched recently from Delsym (to prevent amphetamine tolerance) to Dexalone -- a considerably less vile-tasting alternative, lol. It's OTC and comes in packages of 10 or 30 capsules, each containing 30mg DXM HBr.

If i weren't straight, I'd ask you for a date; we have so much in common. In addition to having most of the psychomaladies you do, well, for openers, my current daily RX regimen is:
Lexapro-20mg
Klonopin 3 mg (down from 4)
Dexedrine 10-20mg 4 times a dayThe dex I just restarted, after running out of Adderall 3 weeks ago. I informed my shrink that that it was starting to really work. Mood was fine w/o euphoria, slept like a baby, no SEs to speak of, I felt focused on my work and often "in the zone". He was obviously pleased. But then I told him, just one little thing, doc. I was wondering if we could raise the dose a tad, from 20mg qid to, oh, 100mg qid. See, in the past week I'd been averaging 690 mg a day (to a max of 740 mg, which DID put my teeth on edge at last). So anyhow, I'm nearly out and....
There was silence on the other end of the line, followed by a string of expletives. I'll condense this by saying he said he would give me NO more Adderall until our next appt. 3 weeks hence, if EVER, and after some other choice words, he hung up.
WELL! Rudeness galore, I thought. I did a quick taper down for 4 days until I ran out. Had a couple of very blue days after that, but nothing heavy. (I am not making this up!) I made up with him and got him to put me back on Dexedrine 80-90 mg MAX a day at our next appt. That was two days ago.
The 3 dex i took this am is having little effect. Time for my next dose. Anyhow, it's stupid to brag about "tolerance", like bragging about smoking a carton of Camels a day.) And all that Adderall I downed cost me $220! I wasn't trying to get high, and I didn't. (Getting drunk was much better.)
Sorry for the long post, but "Chemist" referred me to y'all:

and if you have any firsthand knowledge of how to reduce my fantastic tolerance to stims, I'm all ears and would appreciate it greatly.
Sincerely,
Phil
