> I take Tofranil (200mgs) along with Cymbalta (90mgs) and 60mgs Adderall. My doc thought the TCA would be best because its known to interact with amphetamines; I think he wanted a "jump start" effect. Anyway, it worked and still works...I personally like the combination. I also take 20mgs abilify and 30mgs buspar.
Hmm, that's pretty close to what I take. I take 100 mg nortriptyline, 60 mg Ritalin LA, about 1 mg clonazepam (I've gone up to 2 mg due to anxety from the stim, but am back down to 1) and 15 mg buspirone. How do you find the Tofranil-Cymbalta combination? Have you taken Ritalin, and if so, how does it differ from amphetamines? I know there's a 2:1 ratio in potency between D-amphetamine and methylphenidate (interestingly, there's the same ratio between methylphenidate, and d-methylphenidate, or Focalin) but besides the potency difference do you notice a difference in effect? Thanks,
