> The crash could go away as your tolerance increases. Or you might try experimenting with the dose. Try 2/3 of what your taking or maybe 1/2. It's potent stuff after all (as long as you haven't developed tolerance too much). I remember when I was first on Dexedrine. I crashed very hard one day and felt like I had taken a muscle relaxant. I tried to enjoy it in a weird kind of way, but the dysphoria made it hard. I got used to the Dexedrine pretty quickly. And many people think it is smoother than Adderall in some ways (like the up). Maybe you'd have less of a crash if you tried it for a week or two. Give it time though.
Yeah, I'm bad about giving drugs "time," or, more accurately, giving my body time to adjust. I want to feel better NOW. Its hard to wait when you're suffering.MB
ps. the pdoc mentioned either Dexedrine or Desoxyn if if the Adderall keeps making me too nervous. There's l-amphetamine in the Adderall. I don't know how that affects the subjective feeling of the drug. However, the three types of salts (saccharate, sulfate, and aspartate) are supposed to make the "come on" and "come off" less severe...i dunno, maybe each salt hits at different times, or whatever. I would like to know what the levo-amphetamine is doing to me...is it more anxiogenic?
