> Hi, all, just wanted to post again about ADD stimulants. Primarily, Im taking ADDerall. My tolerance is like terrible. My doctor even upped my dose to 90mg daily, 30mg of adderall Regular release , and lately, im sorta loosing effects. Even the ADD, Motivation Etc.
> So, I came to a conclustion. AND i hope this is going to work. FOr the last 2 weeks, iv been eating ice cream , some phase i just was craving it. Also, not enough fiber and my usual herbal supplements which help the intestines.
> If ones intestines are not working properly, (Im getting wierd stomach spasms, and sensations, and other const. Problems, I suspect that a good total body cleansing would help bring back the effects of the drug. Even the nutrients for your body doesnt get absorbed correctly.
> I was just wondering if anyone experience this problem. I know my tolerance built up, but it has gotton worse, and talking and researching about taking off , its not recommended to stop medications. Plus it would make me alot worse.
> But I suspect this is the majority of the problem, along with some downregualtion of dopamine receptors, which iv bought a few antioxidants to also help detox the brain.
> I would like to lay off adderall for a week , but unless I had some other alternative, im not going to risk it, and be in a horrible state of mind.
>
> I know iv posted about this before, but I never suspected intestinal health, which actually you have "neurotransmitters" in the gut, along with absorbtion of nutrients and drugs. IF you all clogged up like a pipe needing drano LOL< well i can see some nasty things occurring overtime, esp poisons seeping into the blood stream and infections.

> GenoGeno,
Did you see my previous post to you? You are asking too much. many people develop great tolerance to amphetamines naturally, and noone can expect to be 'up' on them for 16 hrs/day 7 days a week etc. This is my opinion. Try some(alot) N-Acetyl Cysteine as it has been shown to help with amphetmaine neurotoxicty and sensitization.
