Phillipa, Laima...
I am using the generic of Adderall, I think. The prescription just says "Amphetamine 10 mg. I think the manufacturer is Ranbaxy, no name on the pill but blue in color with the word, cor(I think)on one line and number (132) underneath that. All I know is that that is that was used to fill an Adderall order when I did not have "prior auth" for the prescription.
All I know is that day by day I'm having more and more doubts about my ability to ever get better.
I may try the "real" Adderall, which I also have but only in the 20 mg XR version and I thought that would be too much to try with Emsam given the warnings about using the two together.
I'm tempted to try a tricyclic or Nardil again, except I look at all the drug trials as more wasted time, but all I have is wasted time. I did have moments of feeling better when I tried the amphetamine at only 2.5 mg for a few days, but then I increased to 5 mg, then 7.5 mg, with no improvement. Today I used 2.5 mg of the amphet, then used half of the 20 mg Adderall capsule contents, ttrying to do something else.
I'm at a loss to know what to try next...I having a hard time believing that this is going on again, not that I haven't been through it many many times, but it never gets easier, it may actually get harder because of the length of time that I've been taking meds (almost 20 years on meds) with so little improvement.
You start to doubt your illness and think if it was depression something would have worked by now.
What else could it be? I thought maybe I have ADD and a stim would do something? I feel lightheaded and dizzy, no interest in anything, want to work but I have noconfidence in my ability to work. BP and pulse stable. Getting afraid to leave the house now.SG
