I take adderal as needed for homework. For this, it works like magic. (I was dx'd with ADHD 10+ years ago). It allows me to hyperfocus, and read the most boring material for 1 - 2 hours straight without a break.
Here is the problem: After roughly 2.5 - 3 hours, it begins to fade and the bad sets in. I have no apetite for a good 2 or 3 hours after words (at least), I become extremely antisocial and depressed for even longer than that, and I feel like I need a drink or a cigarette or anything to be able to get these gross feelings away.
Is there an amphetamine (Straterra, etc., has been tried, doesnt do a thing....that has less of a harsh comedown? I have been on pretty much anything but it's been so long that I can't remember. Thinking about going back to the original ritalin that I started out on....Is it just different for different people? Or is aderal renowned for these properties?
Thanks a lot.
