I tried strattera and did not like it. It's feel's like mostly norepinephrine to me. I got a two hour boost and than a crash.I do enjoy a dopamine boost which ritalin and the amphetamines provide.
My one month free trial with vyvanse was a success. The 30 mg pill which is on 8.9 d-amphetamine felt smooth but was not enough. I will ask the p-doc for 40 mg which I guess is about 12 milligrams of d-amphetamine. Hopefully this novel method of delivery will help prevent tolerance which has been a problem of mine in the past with stims.
