> 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.

My Psychiatrist, after thinking i had an anxiety disorder, gave me Xanax.he then thought i had an ADHD issue, so gave me methylphenidate, 10mgs 2x daily, now 20mgs 4x daily.
Dextroamphetamine, 5mg IR tabs, (Dexamphetamine) (Dexedrine-USA have been helpfull, at a dose of 40mgs 4x daily=120mgs.
It's a hassle taking 8 pills, 5mg IR Dexamphetamine, 3x daily, but WTF-whatever works.
My Pharmacist looks at me like i am some Dope fiend, when i pick up my 30 day script of 5mg IR 720-Dextroamphetamine tablets, but FH.
cheersCheers
