Andrew,
I've built up a tolerance to dex pretty quickly and this concerns me greatly. I understand you completely regarding that it is the only medication I have found to address my depression, social anxiety (pretty severe) and ADD. Are you on a mono-therapy of dex?
Some are taking vyvanse (sp?) with success. I'm still trying to figure this all out for myself. A base of Strattera w/ dex as an add-on, maybe.
I cried when I told my pdoc/T that I felt like an addict--he didn't see me that way. I don't like being dependent on meds to function. You're not alone.
best wishes for you,
fb
