Hey Scott,
Yup, went off the Adderall for a while. That's partially why it took me so long to respond to your note. I was only on 10mg but my brain shuts down so violently it's just amazing (and a bit demoralizing).
As for NMDA antagonists, I'm also curious. I talked to Stephen Dubovsky a few days ago about a variety alternatives and included that in my list(his pets are thyroid hormone and Ca channel blockers). He mentioned using an NMDA antagonist called Memantine, but cautioned me (the bipolar "me") that it might just destabilize me more. Nonetheless, I got the feeling he had atleast some good results with TR patients.
I admit remembering one desperate evening of gulping Robitussin. I remember a vague high, but that was years ago, before I had any clue what bipolar was. Or NMDA antagonists, for that matter! Let me know if you try the gel caps...
