> After just being diagnosed with ADD, I was taken off of Effexor two weeks ago. I tried Wellbutrin for two days and just felt like I was going to die. So now I've been taking 20 mg of Adderall (10mg doses twice a day), and my poop-out periods are quite literal: just a bit down and tired. I want to try Ritalin SR, Dexidrine, or something else that lasts longer, but my doctor is being silly about giving me stimulants period because she's really not a psychatrist. I meet my new one in a month, and I hope he does give me something that lasts longer because I don't really know what to do sometimes when the Adderall wears off. Should I take more? Should I sneak in some leftover antidepressants (this does NOT help), or do I just do something that doesn't require a lot of attention? The latter seems to be the best solution. But I want something that lasts longer--definitely. That's my story, JohnX.
