I've had a tough time assessing the effects. My first scrip, I felt 10mg had me wired & hyperfocused & hyperfocusing is already a problem for me. I went to 5mg & still felt tension in my head, jaw clenching, etc then tried adderall with basically the same effects. Then I saw another doc who put me on effexor which messed with my sleep patterns & wellbutrin before thast was similar. Then I gave up on the docs & tried some overseas meds amisulpride & survector which lack the adrenaline component (pure dopamine) & enjoyed the increased ability to enjoy life. Effexor withdrawl included a dopamine rebound which amazed me. I never felt particularly speedy on any of these. Now I'm trying ritalin again & it seems mellower, more like wellbutrin. Then the amiisulpride & it is more pleasure factor, less hyperfocusing. I just don't know about the focus factor thing because I'm naturally overfocused anyways so I'm trying some zoloft, ritalin & clonazepam all at low doses & that seems to be putting me in a normalized zone though it seems ridiculous to be taking so many uppers & downers to achieve normal.
I sure wish I was one of those that could just take one thing & feel a magic transformation but it's been difficult & confusing for me.
