I agree with the previous poster that a) your dose is too high, and b) you should *definitely* seek the advise of a new doctor rather than just experiment on your own.

I wouldn't recommend quitting such a high dose of adderall cold turkey even if you start taking ritalin right away. And, as I posted before - you might want to try switching to adderall er for an easier come down.

I, too, experience the symptoms you describe: "Lack of motivation, Drug use, Lack of Joy doing things and everything is boring." I also developed a tolerance to opiates (vicodin). In addition to the type II ADD, these are also criteria for dysthymia. I'm currently on adderall er and wellbutrin sr. You should consider switching from lexapro to wellbutrin. Wellbutrin works on norepinephrine and a bit on dopamine, too. I find it stimulating (as opposed to when I took lexapro, which made me tired).

One more thing... Although I feel a bit presumptuous mentioning this since I don't know anything about you, but if possible, you should find a job and lifestyle without such crazy hours. A more regular schedule is necessary to the healing process.
