Firstly, to stjames: thanks for replying and thanks for a couple of other recent replies as well (once called myself acer with questions about Reboxetine).
Why I am interested in Adderall is that the ups and downs/peaks and troughs of stimulants are a
real problem for me.When I first took Dexamphetamine alone I took it exactly as prescribed and never more than I should for six weeks. However it had no effect on my social phobia or depression. It didnt become addictive
until I took it with Aurorix (moclobemide).
It isnt addictive with SSRIs either except the SSRIs always overpower the Dex. or Ritalin and
make me want to just lie down and do nothing,
even at low doses.Any short-acting meds seem to be addictive for me (had probs with Xanax) but
the hope is that with longer-acting ones like
Adderall or Ritalin SR or Metadate that would be
less likely.I feel very much that I cant explain myself properly/cant find the right words because
I have been off all meds for some time now and my
thinking I know is a complete MESS.Do you really
think a long-acting stimulant would not lessen
addictive potential? Because if theres no hope
there then theres not much hope for me at all.
Now that I know what its like for the first time
in my life to be able to concentrate Ill never be able to go back to having to be "dumb" again for the rest of my life. And work in unskilled jobs for the rest of my life. Sorry about the life
story just needed to vent a bit.I wish I could
offer you some helpful advice as well. Seems all
I can do is take at the moment.
