In reply to Adderall is not working anymore., posted by George on February 9, 2002, at 6:04:58
Your problem is common for people taking Adderall for depression. Here are some Ideas that might be helpful.
1) Add a drug like Effexor, wellbutrin, desipramine, nortriptyline or really anything that potently blocks the re-uptake of catecholamines (Norepinephrine & Dopamine). In Fact I know this will restore your response, but how long I don't know, perhaps tolerance would evenually develop again.
2) Try adding a 'gabaergic' drug to the mix. Supposedly drugs that affect the NMDA receptor like benzodiazepines, Neurontin, and others I'm not sure of may restore the effectiveness of stimulants once tolerance has developed. I don't understand why, but you could try it and see. Several papers have been eritten about this.
3)Switch to a new approach that maybe incorporates Adfrafanil, or Provigil. Again...a suggestion only.
4)Get your hands on some Vasopressin or Desmopressin. You can order it online from pharmacies off shore the US. I read once it restores lost stimulant response by somehow afecting the adrenal glands.
Thats all I can offer.
