WEll I was becoming somwhat tolerant to adderall because I have a fast metabolism and it would leave my blood stream quickly. The pdoc then tried me on Concerta and it did not do anything for me other than make me even more lethargic and tired! So we are trying Dexedrine spanuals because the release mechanism is slighly different to Adderall XR and is so far proving to last longer in my bloodstream without taking more. My motivation, drive, and concertration is starting to come back. If Dexedrine wears out, the doc and I agreed that we will just use Provigil as my primary stimulant and phase off of amphetamines as my work load at school is getting lower. Here is what I take for ADD, Intermittent Impulsivity Disorder (I do not like the term explosive), Atypical depression and Social Anxiety..when my symptoms are improving for me to become functional, this combination is really effective, and very little side effects for me.
Dexedrine Spanuals 15mg 2X
Klonopin 1mg 2X
Risperdone 2 mg evening
Cymbalta 60mg
Provigil 400mg daily (up to 600 mg if needed)I think this is about the best I can get in terms of medications for the disorders that I have, the rest now will have to be left to an intensive DBT type therapy program I am joining up for.
Hope everyone will get some relief too..I know how agonizing, lathargy and amotivation can be exspcially when you have a strong internal desire to triumph, but cannot get out of bed!
