> Hey MtDew, I never did find a way to completely avoid the crash. I messed with ways of tolerating it. I would plan my day accordingly to accommodate it, and self-talk going down. Wish I could offer you something more substantial.
>It's not at all clear yet how much is crash and how much is depression. Also it's hard to tell if the Dex is preventing me from sleeping well or the depression is. I have a tendency to wake up too early in the morning, which actually predates the Dex, but the Dex could be contributing. If SSRIs counteract the attention benefits, it will be really difficult to strike a balance. Doing nothing for the ADD is not an option.

I already have melatonin, doxylamine (Unisom), Remeron, and valerian for sleep, but I left a message for my doc today asking for some Ambien. I didn't hear back today, so hopefully Monday.
