Iv read that psych page with the time lines and ++ for dopamine or NE. Now who knows if its exactly correct. I mean with +++ and such but I know Ritalin for most seems to cause most anxiety. Iv tried it and yes it does,
Adderall, harldy nothing, and gives me more motivation, like for example i could do work on line for 8 hrs easy, now at first, when i didnt have a tolerance, i felt it alot more and was more social and gabby. Ritalin made me not talk, but still work. Dexedrine was like i could not feel it at all, but it was keeping me from like crashing from adderall, but i fell alspeep 5 times on it easy. So i could have taken 2or3 easy, but i would have ran out in 2 weeks.Maybe regual dexedrine 10mg at 20-30mg from glaxo smith pharmacy, would probably do the job, but i like Adderall. One more think i thing someone said, and i just downloaded the FDA PDR on adderall. It seems the d-isomoer of adderall is shorter acting than the i- isomer. Im still not too shure about the aspartate of the adderall, but its says its a neurtral salt. Well at least you have 1/2 dex and 1/4 benzadrine and i believe another 1/4 which is active to a point.
Also, the higher the dose, it actually doesnt last longer by this fda report. Peak blood levels on reg Adderall are 3hrs so by the 6th hr, you best take another one, but in the one study, they had young kids taking 10mg 2x daily, every 4 hrs, but they stated children eliminate the drug faster than adults. So 10mg for a kid is like 30mg for me, i mean im 230 5 11 with a tolerance ,. You read this, then another doc writes that, or a natural PHD doc writes a book on natural methods. If i were do pick, I would use both. For example, without naming it all, if i took lexapro 20mg , and wanted to take 5htp, i would lower the lexapro to 10mg and take 50mg of 5htp, but i know if i told my doc all in all he would not know about it, and tell me no or keep the dose low.
ANother point i forgot to point out is there are 6 types of add. Yet each type has like what 8-10 symptoms. so thats 50 -60 stympoms.
I also believe Reward deficiency syndrome is a factor here. FRom abusing 2 stong drugs for 5 yrs straight, one can possible mess up there mesolimbic reward center from constant release of da from the Nucleus accumbens. Now this probably pertains to Psychostimulants, but if its helping a person, feel much better you really dont have a choice unless you want to suffer. But again, im no neurologist and who knows how long this may last or what exactly this does and such.write back sometime
