I'm not social phobic at all but a bit less interested in people while more confident at the same time when talking to them (don't know if this is clear : ). A bit obsessive (but for me being a bit organized means "obsessive" ;-), less sense of humour, maybe less sharp, anyway it's only my second day therefore it's too early for generalizations.

I feel like I were an organized Francesco which is a very strange sensation. No drastic changes of personality, hope I found the one ;-) I think also that it "normalizes" me, never been normal so, I don't really know what to do : )

Are you sure the Anafranil is out of your system right now? When did you last take it?
I dropped pemoline again after I gave my original morning dose of 37.5 mg another try and my ability to focus *dropped* and then a crash set in during the afternoon. I notice no real difference on 18.75 mg tid.
I am having encouraging results with 3000 mg/day L-tyrosine and 300mg/day 5-HTP plus my sundry vitamins and minerals. If it keeps up I may drop the notion of seeing a psychiatrist.
