I'm curious what sort of sensitization (poop-out)
issues other people on this group have had
with Adderall.I've taken it twice as a last ditch effort to
treat depression.The 1st time I took it standalone and it it would
poop out after about every 3 days.
I took it once a day in the morning with a
mean dose of ~20 mg. I would always seem to get
erratic responses. One day 10mg drove me frantic.
Another day 30 mg did nothing.Curiously, I tried Adderall again with Klonopin
to reduce fatigue. This time I always got the
same Adderall response at 20mg. I found this strange
and actually found an abstract describing how
clonazepam (Klonopin) could prevent amphetamine
sensitization. Unfortunately I got poop-out on Klonopin,
another addictive med, and everything went to *ell.I have looked at the addiction pathway of amphetamine,
and their is a simple and interesting medication in
the pipeline which may prevent tolerance issues,
without addiction to the additive medication.
(Another guru in this NG is studying it).Anyones comments on Adderall dosing issues welcomed.
I'm very curious if my sensitization is much
greater than the average joe's.-John
