My doc has never done this combination before. Hell, he only has 3 patients even on Nardil.
BTW Stargazer, I had a reaction on Nardil and Adderall in the past as well. I was on Nardil 90 mg per day, and i took a 20 mg adderall xr (same as your 10 mg ir).
The reason Adderall is a terrible choice for use in MAOI/STIM combo therapy, is that the levo-amphetamine in Adderall releases a lot of adrenaline, which in turn cranks up your blood pressure.
Ritalin and dexedrine on the other hand, are more concentrated on dopamine rather than nor-epinephrine, making them much safer alternatives.
Trust me, I would like to have a doc who knew what he was doing with this combo.... but unfortunately I dont, and Im kind of on my own.
When I was at 10 mg dex, three times per day, I was the top salesman at my store. But, now that I've lowered it to 5 mg, three times per day, I feel no therapeutic effect whatsoever. I feel I must go back to my old dose in order to be productive, but I also know I must be careful. Maybe I'll even order some nifedipine 5 mg caps online.
