Thank you, TenMan. I was wondering about the Dexedrine, and the role that might be playing in my anxiety/irritability. I didn't take it today, and, although I am tired, I am not half as ancy and agitated as usual. I have tried Provigil, however, and I get a bad "crash" effect from it, as well as all of the other stimulants I have tried. For some reason, Dex is the easiest on my system as far as crashing goes -- when it wears off, I don't feel sick and exhausted. I only take a very low dose -- 5 mg (sometimes 10 mg) -- but still get jittery on it.
I was wondering if anyone would mention the Dex as a problem. Thanks again,
cindy> There is a member here named Rick. He takes a combo of klonopin and provigil for his social phobia. He says that the klonopin kills the anxiety he gets and he uses the provigil to counteract the sedation from the klonopin. Perhaps you should look into this combination as dexedrine is known to exsacerbate anxiety in some individuals.
