> I tried Imipramine and Lofepramine- both improved my attention span, but unfortunately sparked irritability, to which I'm prone anyhow.May I ask you how much Imipramine did you take ?
I'm also on a mood stabilizer now so irritability shouldn't be a big issue (I hope).> Amantadine was far better in this respect, and my (dopamine assisted) 'focus' improved dramatically.It didn't help my depression though, to say the least.
What do you mean by (dopamine assisted) 'focus' ?
Is focus different from concentration ?> Provigil, Wellbutrin or even Deprenyl have been used off-label with moderate success, and I intend testing out some of these prior to a stim.
>I just tried Wellbutrin of the above and let's say it didn't work. It made me real angry and spaced out but of course this doesn't mean it won't work for you.
