yes, i have to stop night shift, then the next day im up , and dont feel like sleeping untill 6 hrs before work. anyway, yes, lowering the dose, is one factor, or switching over to say ritalin for a week.
What dose of adderall are you one. WHat im thinking is that welbutrin is sorta potentiating and actually allowing you to lower your dose of adderall. THis is what im looking into, but more soe a nootropic. Welbutrin may be an option, but iv been reading up so much on smart drugs, and other dopamine agaonists which can be ordered overseas. I cant name them on here, but some seem to be safe, and effect, and some actually stimulate nerve growth cells, along with eliminating toxins from amphetamines. Plus there pro cognitive.
THere was a drug in france, which would have been great for reducing or taking breaks from amphetamines, called amineptine. But they did studies on it, and i guess it causes overdosing and addictive properties due to it both blocked dopamine and released it. Like welbutrin but 10x stronger, and more dopamine. Now when it comes to dopamine, im talking the nucleus accumbens, which amphetamines tend to release.But sleep i know is very very important first. Then ill worry about lowering th edose slowely. Or even adding another stimulant, but not ephedrine.
Some DOpamine agonists which i cant think of are welbutrin, NADH, L-Dopa, I usually search for dopamine agonists or antiparkinson drugs. But i know enought not to just take any drug. I would research it first, and run it by my doc. Esp if it was overseas.
But if you think about it, that 90mg dose is because 1 dose does not last. Its not like im taking 90mg in 10 hrs. But in 10 hrs, basially thats 2 doses, but if i could make the drug last longer by taking another DA agonist, without overdoing it, it may work.
Boy im starting to feel like some mind junkie. You said you had a problem with vicodin, DO you have any dependence on Adderall. I just feel that it works really good, and yes i could feel the effects at first, but not like a high like opiates.
I may try switching over to ritalin for a few days, being they do act different. IM not sure if this will help or be productive, but its worth a try.
thankx
