In reply to Adderall XR - help, anyone?, posted by lemon68 on October 10, 2005, at 22:35:18
thanks so much for the advice in regards to adderall.
I have been taking 10 mg since Tuesday. I am pretty aware of the risks of mania, insomnia, etc. , as I have done a lot of research on the drug. Plus, I recognize some of the mental effects from brief spins on street meth in my youth.. heh heh... so I know what to look for.
Bottom line, I've managed to drag my carcass out of bed before 1 pm for the first time in months ( since I lost my job, mostly due to being an apathetic mofo) , and I finished a $2000 freelance gig in 2 days - that's rent and food, kiddies.
I am apprehensive of the "poop-out", the possible manias and emotional lability ( I did experience some late-nite anxiety, but luckily had Klonopin on hand), but I think this med is worth sticking with for now. I'll keep y'all posted as to new developments, and please don't hesitate to add to this thread anything relevant...
cheers
