Hi Denise,
I'm desperate to try something like ritalin/dexerine...but I'm also in the UK.
I find it pathetic the narrow mindedness of the pdocs over here, and I look at the plethora of drugs easily prescribed to our North American friends with much envy.
Have you tried zyban/wellbutrin? Its sort of similar to a stimulant, but the trouble here in Europe is that its only licensed as a quit smoking aide. So your GP would have to prescribe it off label. I got one of my previous GPs to prescribe it for me. It was okay, but I developed a rash on it, so I stopped it.
I think it very very unlikely a doc over here would prescribe dexedrine as an augumenting agent. In my experience, they're completely ignorant to augumenting agents in the first place!!
If I had loads of money I would fly over to North America and get an appt with a pdoc....I'm kicking myself now because my partner used to live in Boston, and I used to visit him regulary. I could have easily have fitted in a pdoc appointment!!!!
Oh well. Sigh.
Kind regards
Meri
