I don't know anything about the other meds. But at some point do you think you might run into diminishing returns in seeking this info versus trying the med that seems to be the best fit?

> You make an excellent point about diminishing returns. I am scared and frustrated at the same time in terms of experimentation. My last *several* experiences with meds have been really bad in terms of cardiovascular effects---which as you mention is very uncomfortable...frightening even. At the same time they worked so *well*, and I'm just concerned I won't be able to find a med that both works and is tolerable. It is frustrating that I cannot tolerate medication which thousands of 5 year olds take every day.

If you cannot tolerate any ADD/HD meds, try Desoxyn, if you can?, i sure as hell would.What have you trialed?
