> Thank you all. Wellbutrin isn't an option for me -- history of head trauma, etc -- although one doctor put me on it and it really seemed to help. I haven't tried any other stimulants, but I'm now open to the idea. Any experiences on them?

> Emme, my dear, how low a dose has worked for you without overstimulating you? When you say a "crumb" is that an eighth of a 100mg tablet, or just a literal crumb? And have you had any experience on any other stimulant, like ritalin, adderall, etc? Did those overstimulate you, too?

> Gotta tell you guys, I'm afraid of how speedy this makes me. It's so incredibly wonderful to feel alive at all again, but then I'm talking too much, too fast -- ask me about anything, I'll tell you ALL about it -- but it's still a nice relief from the overwhelming despair I've been suffering from recently.Get 100mg pills. Try taking 25mg and then 25mg more 4 or so hours later, and do that for a month. Then try a 50/25 split or 50/50.
A lot of the side effects and excess speediness will go away completely within a month of daily dosing.
By then it should be working in the background.
