Hi
Brief history. I was taking Adderall XR to help me make it through the day. My AD Parnate wasn't working and I need to combat my afternoon exhaustion (Parnate related). Now Adderall has gone bye-bye in Canada. So I am in withdrawal. I couldn't take it anymore so I started dexedrine today. I'm crashing on it.
In alternative meds what can I take that will help me. I live in Canada so certain enzymes etc. are not available. NADH being one of them.
Please help.
Maxime

> MaximeYou can import NADH. If you order it from iherb, it takes three business days to arrive at your door. Shipping is pretty much flat rate, so it makes sense to order more than one thing at a time.
Trimethylglycine is very activating for me. The combination of TMG and NADH has a nice synergy about it.

Maxime,
I know this may sound a bit out there, but perhaps you could talk to you doctor or pdoc about trying some B-12 injections. In a thread below, I mentioned that I guy I know had the chance to try B-12 injections, and he noticed a marked improvement in energy and a significant decrease in brain fog, etc. Probably a bit unconventional, but may be worth a try.

Thanks Larry. Sounds like a plan.
Tamara, unless I had B12 deficiency (which I don't right now) he would never go for it. But there was a time when I was very deficient in B12 and needed injections. I felt so good after. I was really sick and at low weight with anorexia. I am still anorexic but at I have at least managed to be able to take vitamins and not consider them as extra calories.

I believe it was very common at one time, maybe you could find a doctor who is getting on in years who might be more comfortable with it.

> MaximeYou can buy B12 supplement tablets of 1,000 to 5,000 mcg strengths. They ought to be equivalent to B12 injections. I've noticed differences between brands, however, so you may have to try more than one product before you fine one you like.
