Adderall only did so much, and only for so long. It was really just a crude instrument, to get energy and concentration and stop eating so much, lol.
Now, Adderall plus other stuff, in my case Tofranil-PM...was helpful. Each person is different. I seem to recall reading that TCA+amphetamine is particularly effective for some people. I don't know if that's true or some over-generalization based on shoddy research (quite common in psychiatry).
I wouldn't take stimulants alone, I'd come up with a reasonable cap for dosage (high doses can make things worse), and I'd only take uppers with other meds.
Just my advice.
