I have never tried dexedrine or adderall, I'm intrigued and a little worried about trying them, because if they don't work, no shorter acting drug probably will.
I agree that short term effects may be different than long term. Like with pristiq I took my first dose around 3 PM and then the next morning around 9 AM I started to notice something. It became more pronounced the next day. So I might need more of an accumulation of neurotransmitters than a stimulant can offer in a few hours.
So I'm gonna finish of this pack and if I have enough maybe order another. From what I have read, this med really does decrease NE, (makes me wonder why I bought it) so it may be helpful to you.
I remember when mirtazapine kicked in initially I felt really good. I was transcribing music in my head at my desk at work, but it only lasted a couple days and then I guess the receptors up or downregulated back to normal.
I wouldn't say I lost all my emotions, but I feel that I am functioning emotionally on a subhuman level.
I kinda wished I had tried effexor instead of pristiq, since my understanding is it works better as the dose is increased, the same cannot be said as generally with pristiq.

I've never really lost all my emotions, except via depression, so I can't comment . . clomipramine definitely didn't numb me in the way SSRI's do . . in fact, I felt pretty normal, so maybe Desipramine could help you.

Yesterday I doubled the dose just to see what would happen, since it supposedly has short acting immediate effects. I didn't notice anything, which is not surprising since short acting drugs have no effect on my mood.

I believe the true effects of the drug do take sometime to develop, but I think that if it were to work, one might notice some anti anxiety effects right off the bat.

I just thought I might notice something right off the bat, like some people notice with ritalin or oxycodone. I haven't noticed anything so far. No significant side effects either.
