I have a feeling that we might both do better on a low dose of Concerta - which is basically Ritalin XR.
The thing is, stims work for me. . . it is just the intensity and comedown that kills me. I think Adderall XR 30 mgs is just too much for me. I bet a therapeutic dose of a more gentle, sustained stimulant.
The problem is asking my doctor for this without him thinking I am seeking drugs.
