Agreed.

> Now what we really need is studies on humans! Any volunteers??????!!!!!!!

That would be difficult, since most of the studies seem to end with the subjects' brains being sliced up. But with newer imaging techniques, it's not out of the question.

Adderall, 10-20mg/day, for better focus, less apathy, and as an antidepressant-augmentor. It's too early at this point to say if it's actually going to work out for me. I'd like to give methylphenidate a try, partly because of safety concerns, and am working on getting the pdoc to go along. (He says that adults tend to do better on Adderall.)
