Hey "undopaminergic"....Thanx for the reply.... most actul info. Ive gotten back yet... I really appreciate it!!!....... The Info on the amphetomine salts is great (ironicly..thats the part ive been putting the m/ reseach into)....OK....now my question now is....I understand the amphetomine salts ore a combination of 2 diff. amphetamines..(one havinrg more of an effect neropenephrine) and the other ( directly on dopimine)..... got that much..sraight....but what I'm tring to figure out is (wich u actualy eluded to) is the; synergistic effects of the "poly-pharmocolgy"; of taki'n all three of meds in combination..... and how this all effects the METABOLISATION of the Adderal ?....this is my bigggest puzzel is ...this is my thoughts so far ...hopefully you have some better feed back...(I'm currently taking - 200mg/day "zoloft" as well as 125mm/day of Straterra.).... combmo works good ..most of the year..BUT ; ALERGY SEASON(wich mine r VERY severe!!) it just dosent do it...< and weather thev'e medicly estblished it or not...there is a direct corellation w/ alllergiies n my adhd symtoms n I supect many others to> , any way,.soooooooooooo.." I know it wasn't the greatst idea...But I don'thave a current psych.... so I went to my reg doc and got scipt for Adderal 20mg/2;day....now litterature and most tastimonials ....say even the short/act. is supossed to last 3-6 hours and th xr...like 9/10 ..or somthing?) any way.... I took 30mgs of sh. act.... and it "kick in" --1/2 hour..lot af anxiety at first/ wich I figure 's from the Strattera ALREADY having nuerpenephrin up.. but onece that went awway..%?* min.'s.... i had the BEST (1hr) or concentration Iv'e ever had."and I don't mean like I was HIGH"....like I coud concentrate n mentally coordinat things liike never befor in my life.... BUT...exactly 1 hr after it "K.I."... I CRASHED ..i KNOW BECAUSE i MATICULASLY CHARTED EVERY THING.......so i took anthther 30mgs....same ecact thing "K.I".... a little fastter... but 1hr of amazing clarity and mental energy...then crash? .....now I'm asssuming the positive hr is because of wich ever "specific amphet. salt"..that afffects DOPAMINE.... ( following ...that stimulants have always been 1st lin med's....tyh'the ones that REALy affect dpamine).... and Ive always tried to avoid /because / hated ritalin as a kid....n';at that; time was only thing available)....any way? obviosly I coudn't keep that dose up indef. 30mgs/hour...F.N. also tried the xr...... maybee/... maybee?... lasted a little longer?. /but not evn close to 2hrs....MY idea ,like i sad before , is that reason i'm, not getting any realistic sustained respone ..is beccase...one or the other.. or booth; of the other two med are some how interacting; or conteracting the metabolisim and the neural effect of the Adderall???..... this is my theory any way..I'm probly leaning to the straterra...but i realy don't know...n whats even more wierd ...is I herar tons of testimonials on here of people love'n the synergitic effects of ading stims n ssri,s...cause the stims have a sertonagic effect of there own........Hopefully you have some better insight or suggestins???...Hope to hear from u soon... thanx again C.J.
