> Since you are already on an amphetamine, why not try Dexedrine spansules? I feel a calming effect within an hour or so after taking my dose in the afternoon. When I was on Adderall I would feel a "wavy" combination of calmed and agitated. Also, on the dexedrine I don't have *any* dry mouth, and my heart rate isn't nearly as elevated. There *is* a big difference between the two.

I'm still wavering about the Lithium, even though I just posted what sounded like a final decision of trying it out. Well, I'm like that-indecisiveness and worry are my two middle names. You said you're on Neurontin+klonopin+dex. What dose of Neurontin and klonopin are you on and how do you divide the doses? If I don't switch to Lithium, I'd like to try dex spansules, but I heard they're shorter-acting than adderall XR. Is this true? Already, I have to take a 10mg normal adderall around 6pm in addition to my morning 20mgXR dose. Also, I like the idea that dex is smoother than adderall-already I have freezing hands all the time, a high heart- rate, and extreme dry mouth.
