Hi,
I saw my pdoc yesterday, and I will be trying Dex now. I posted in another thread about how horribly I crash out on stims, after only a day or two after taking them -- low doses. I've tried Ritilin, Provigil and Adderall and have the same issues with all three.

BUT, we're going to give Dex a try, and try taking SMALL doses (like 2.5 mg.) several times a day. My pdoc had a good insight ... he said my body metabolizes stims the way a hypoglycemic or diabetic metabolizes sugar ... I feel good when I first take it, but shortly afterward my pancreas (or liver or whatever) goes on overload and I crash out. So we're going to try several "small meals" a day of the stimulant. (Like a diabetic would with food.) I'll let you know what happens. Hopefully the Dex will be easier on my system like some of you have reported.

Just a note -- back in my college days (I'm dating myself) "Dexatrim" was the diet pill on the market. I took it a few times and it knocked me out -- I was always very medicated and sleepy on it. My pdoc said there was about 30 mg. of Dexedrine in it!!! I can't believe they used to sell that over-the-counter. No wonder I felt so horrible on it.

Take care all,
cindy
