> Hi, how are you? dont know if you remeber me.
Hi there! Of course I remember you -- I haven't been gone *that* long. :-)
> Anyway doesnt matter. Ok, I know you take adderall something Im going to start. My not so important question is what dose, and the big question is do you take any anti poop out med along with? Memantine, dxm?
I take 30mg of the immediate-release four times daily, once every six hours (that includes a dose right before bed -- it helps me sleep!). I've been taking DXM longterm and it's been a dream come true. I was using the extended-release syrup Delsym (dextromethorphan polistirex) at 30mg twice daily, but recently switched to Dexalone capsules. They each contain 30mg DXM HBr, they don't taste "cough-mediciney" and (most importantly for me since I'm doing the low carb thing), no sugar! I also tried amantadine awhile back for a few weeks as a replacement for my DXM, and although it worked, it gave me horribly vivid nightmares.
> Oh ya, and how the hell did you get a pdoc like you have. Ive heard of them in ancient legends, but that one even exists?
lol, it's called luck. VERY good luck.
> Did call ask them, maybe not so blunt, but if their more liberal and all.
Oh no, I never call and ask ahead about a doctor's prescribing habits and limits -- that tends to set off a red-flag that just screams "drug-seeker" to many unenlightened practitioners of medicine.
> Thanks, I always find your posts interesting.
You're very welcome; glad I can ofter something to the board that may help someone. :-)
By the way, what will you be starting the Adderall for? Just curious.
All the best,
~Michael
