> Adderall rxed for ADD?
I've been on adderall for a while, been off for several wks
too. No similar symptoms, rather just some sleepiness and
appetite rebound. Provigil may be the cause tho:
My teen did a trial of provigil for ADD and AD augmentation.
results: no effect on ADD symptoms
bad headaches
nausea
no impact on depression
insomnia
"feeling crappy"
empty wallet -- very priceyThe study on provigil and adults with ADD can be found
under the medications link at the ADD site at About.com
it was not effective, and alas, the manufacturer's
stock dropped sharply.
The only other tidbit is gossip-science:
pdoc at university hospital where there is an on-going trial
as an AD augmentation told me that the results haven't
been too promising so far [at least 8 mo]Another stimulant is out of the question? No other options
given?
Feel better.
