In reply to nonRx Adderall alternative? ephedrin/MaHuang safe?, posted by S.D. on July 22, 2000, at 20:43:08
S.D.,Since your doctor is not to keen on stimulants, how does he suggest that you treat your ADD without hyperactivity. Stimulants are the only generally used medicine for ADD. Can you switch doctors.
That being said, Wellbutrin has some efficacy for ADD and anergic states. Both reboxetine and adrafinil are available without Rxs. An Rx for Provigil is another option. I'm not ready to call my trial complete yet, but my impression is that selegiline when combined with low dose amisulpride enhances vigor, cognition, and motivation without increased anxiety. This reminds me of posters which have noted that their stimulants needed to be combined with a low dose neuroleptic to a have a good effect. Amiuslpride is a neuroleptic. Selegiline also can be obtained without an Rx.
Sorry, Ephedra and ma huang do not predict a good response to stims. These drugs are not acceptable for long term use. Tolerance builds for them and I believe a crash results after extended use.
