> Hi, It´s my first time posting here. Let me telll you something about me. I am 26 years old. I have ADHD (mixed type: more inattentive than hyperactive) and primary hypersomnia. Also have suffered severe anxiety disorders in the past, which are little problem right now. Cognitive- Behavioural Therapy is great for me, but meds help me a lot; that´s my current combo:
>
> 1. Prozac: 40 mg (in the morning)
> 2. Modafinil (Provigil): 100 mg
> 3. Ritalin: 40 - 60 mg/day
> 4. Clonazepam (Klonopin): 0,5 mg (before sleeping)
>
> Also take:
>
> 5. Caffeine: 200 mg/day
> 6. Vit B Complex + vit C + zinc
> 7. Magnesium salts
>
> So, 7 medications... I don´t like to take so much pills.
> In my country, adderall is not available, so I should import it. I´ve never tried adderall but guess could work very well for me. What are, in your experience,the nmost important advantages and disadvantages comparing adderall and ritalin? I will appreciate your answer. Thanks a lot for your support.
