> Adderall, BTW, is "new" for ADD but its an old drug; back in the 60s, it was a hugely successful weight loss drug. It got renamed, tweaked, and BAM! we have adderall.
Interesting! Thanks for your response. My pdoc is having me investigate ADD, mentioned Adderall specifically as a future option. on the remedyfind.com site, the Dexedrine gets rated higher, but on this forum it seems Adderall gets more thumbs up. NOt the first time their polling and info here are slightly different!
I am in the midst of sorting through all the possible diagnoses--depression (vs Bipolar II?), anxiety, ADD (+ Alcohol Dependence). Currently only on Lamictal only (after a very bad trial of Cymbalta)...suprisingly, it seems to be doing quite a bit of good so far; but I definitely lack a varity of ingredients to feel better.
Anyways, take care.
