> I have noted some folks with anxiety issues discussing the use of stimulants. I don't seem to be able to tolerate much of anything in the way of stims. I've not tried RX stims, nor am I interested in that..... However, I would like to have my ability to use caffiene back and to be able to use the rare pseudofed ("contriband" in the US now - sigh) for sinus congestion.

after 18 months, after first stimulanting me, it now makes me tired.
Starting at 10mgs 2x day, now i can take 20mgs up to 5x daily and it calms my brain (somewhat) and allow me to lay down and rest.
the drugs, and the brain change in responce to what they are constantly dealth with!, which once sped you up can over time slow you down, so that, you can be content with resting/sleeping with the same compound.
I can take 30-40mgs Ritalin and sleep fine (thou wake up tired) after dosing!)
The Brain changes with what it is continually bombardided with.
