Anyway...The whole thing with Luvox CR is its just plain old fluvoxamine-the cr bit was marketing ploy.

I take Luvox to treat my OCD and depression to an extent.
I take Vyvanse and d-ampheytamine for my ADHD. Abilify to augment the Luvox. Lithium because I'm bipolar. And Wellbutrin for depression.

And Wellbutrin for depression.That's a regime that demonstrates a rational approach to polypharmacy. I hope it helps to allay people's reluctance to take more than one medication to get well. My only question regards your taking two amphetamines. How did you come to that treatment?

Scot writes,[...That's a regime that demonstrates a rational approach to polypharmacy...].
The regime is listed as being taken by the poster that Scott is responding to. That regime is in the literature as a regime that could kill the taker of those drugs. This is all because the drugs combined have their adverse effects increased exponentially. And this regime that Scott says is demonstrating a rational approach to polypharmacy has no rational basis to have that claim made here as the drugs combined could cause serious life-ruining conditions, addictions and death, unless Scott thinks that those are rational to accept by taking this combination of death inducing drugs.
My friends, you see, the chemicals in the drugs can skyrocket the amount of serotonin to the brain and cause serotonin syndrome with more than two of them. And the effects are increased exponentially because there are more than two drugs in this regime that can do that. And there are more adverse consequences including addiction and the loss of rational reasoning that can be caused by this regime of drugs.
You see, you could be seriously misled by Scott and Mr. Hsiung here to think that these drugs combined are safer than they really are because the material facts of what could befall a taker of these drugs are left out which could mark the difference of you being a live person or a corpse. Since Mr. Hsiung says that support takes precedence here, you could be misled by him to think that you could also swallow this regime and it will be in Mr. Hsiung's vision to be good for his community as a whole as he asks you to trust his thinking and that he posts what could lead you to believe that he uses fairness and the Golden Rule in his thinking. Death by Serotonin syndrome is supportive and will be good for this community as a whole? You want to trust Scott and Mr. Hsiung to drug yourself or your child with these drugs?

I'm getting to a point where I believe the vast majority of people are afraid of these drugs.
I take Vyvanse 70 mg which is equal to @30 mg d-amphetamine, then I take another 60 mg of d-amphetamine once every 6 hours for a total 0f 90 mg d-amphetamine.
It takes a lot of amphetamine to bring about the level of focus and concentration I desire. I know some folk who take 120 mg a day.
