Sorry if this is an obvies point, but when you start a stimulent is your starting dose to high?I'm only saying this because of my own experience. After my finals I was extremely intolerent of dexedrine, even half a 5mg tablet made me panicky!
I became quite depressed about this untill I tried a quarter of a tablet, this dose was high enoughth for me to get some benefits and yet didn't make me panicky.Funnily enough I cannot tolerate any caffeine, which is very frustrating!
