> As you guys know I have been doing trials on different pstims for ADD. Aderall was horrible (bad physical symptoms), Ritalin made me feel good, now trying Dexidrene. The Dexidrene Spansules are giving me the same physical symptoms that the Aderall did. Should I just stick with the Ritalin or are there others I should try to make sure I am using the best one for me?
It sounds like amphetamine stimulants are going to cause you trouble, no matter what type. You could revisit the methylphenidate route and go with Ritalin SR or Concerta, next. I responded better to methylphenidate than to amphetamines for focus and attentiveness. The best anti-ADD effect I have had from nonstimulants was desipramine or a combo of nortriptyline and Zoloft.
