It's a bloody pain that adults can't get their hands on ritalin or dexamphetamine ect here in Australia.. the laws are so tough it's near impossible. I even presented a huge paper on all the info and studies i could find on the use of stimulants and MAOI's to combat the hypotension but in the end just couldn't get it. Apparently it needs 5 pdocs to agree you need it and that's the only law i've been able to find out so far, so god knows what else is involved.

I don't know how to tell people how I put up with all the unkowns (it was especially hard with the most incompetent Doc that ever lived). But I learned alot the hard way. It could have been so much easier if I had the Doc I have now.

> This is not about me. Sorry. Please get that straightened out asap. I'm not a Doc but I think it really isn't safe, short term or long term. Tell your pDoc you want to augment with something that will raise your BP.
