Although my energy level seems to drop somewhat around 3:00 pm or so, I really don't feel too poorly in the evening. Of course, I don't do a lot and I'm usually good for about 3 glasses of wine per evening. That's something I need to reduce or, perhap, eliminate, but that's another issue. There definitely seems to be a synergy with adding a stimulant to an AD, at least for me. It's really interesting because virtually all AD's cause hyperanxiety in me at a therapeutic level or below, but for some reason, stimulants cause no anxiety for me. I've yet to find a reasonable explanation for this. I would still love to use the stimulants on a prn basis instead of regularly. Hopefully, I'll achieve that someday.
