I would try the Remeron+Adderall combo (why not try that last AD..??-never know). You got sleepy on the Ritalin (maybe not with Dexedrine??). OR what about a combination of Remeron with *Provigil* the alpha-1 agonist med that is supposed to be an alternative for ADHD? I talked a bit about this before, but wonder what would happen with the Remeron+alpha-1 agonist combo. See what your pdoc says, I am curious. Not that I am trying to make someone *else* a guinea pig!
