Reactionws to medication seem to be very personal. Both Rital and Focalin made me nasty, But Focalin XR is a treat. Adderall made me jittery, yet dexedrine felt smooth. Dexedrine was probably the cleanest feeling stimulant but it did impair sleep and I was always afraid I was mistaking effervescence foir positive impact. And by jingo did it make me chatty.I guess that Vyvanse will be the next experiemntal doofus drug that I try to fix mytself with.

> Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Yes, I need to figure out what's up with "adderall" before writing it off. My mood dumps seem to have no correlation to dosing, so unless they are due to a long protacted, even lasting-through-the-night "crash", they are likely due to my depression itself. I didn't notice any classic "crash" with ritalin, nor with a lower dose of adderall, so maybe that's not the explanation. Actually, my doctor believes in checking out a med thoroughly and does not like to move around. So the choice is almost made for me. I can see the logic, I guess. If one jumps around too much, it's always chaos and hard to tell what caused what.
