> I have an opportunity to trial Dextroamphetamine 5mg IR if i present right, so maybe that would be smoother and less 'Caffeinated' feeling?
Possibly, I get no stimulation at all from ritalin, it's more like I just bought the latest video card and my frame rate is increased so the game seems to slow down. I'm really starting to despise the caffeine like feeling from the adderall I'm taking now. For me it's more a physical thing but when my heart is pounding it does start to make me nervous. A lot of people seem to find the reverse to be the case though, ritalin = dirty stimulant amphetamines = calm focus.
My doctor also said I could try d-amphetamine if I can't adjust to the mixed stuff. She didn't seem to buy that l-amphetamine might cause more side effects but she listened and is willing to let me try it. I'm really hoping dex will do the trick but from past experience I'm afraid at this point in my life amphetamines might release too much NE for me to handle.
Do you post on an add forum under a slightly different name?
