My psych didn't mention liver problems since I assume the dose is so low [37.5 mg. once daily]. I do need to go to my primary care doc for a physical to check liver functions... been waiting until I lose a little more weight. I have adapted to AD memory problems by always writing down things to do in an daily agenda book. This is the way I have learned to cope. Memory is also naturally getting fragmentated after forty/fifty. Cylert does help me keep focused on the things I want/need to do daily and throughout the week. I have never tried ADDerall and my experiences with dex in college were ordeals... great for cramming, etc. but I felt too nervous coming back down. Today I know I wouldn't tolerate it well as Ritalin made me feel that way also. In your case it may be necessary to play with the dosage plus use coping techniques that become second nature. I have also felt generally better by taking more vitamin supplements [B's, C's, Niacin, etc.] which combat depression. Read 7 weeks to Emotional Healing by Dr. Joan Mathews Larson [www.healthrecovery.com/]. Her program specifically targets many emotional problems thru nutrition, chemical imbalances, environmental toxins. It has helped me . Now all I need to do is get back to work since I have been laid-off since October!
