Asperger's, which is a terrible, disorder. I can function fine, have a job and learn to mantain high function. Never have i seen myself, Function appopriatly in a converation. I do have "persona's", but dont last long and unable to hold a good relationship with people.
Also, this concerns me, sometimes paranoia comes and reality gets distored, the only thing...."calm down, its your mind, stop thinking now". It works at times.... but a medication called Compazine would help at those times. I take Seroquel (new age anti psychotic) but it lasts way to long, calms thinking, then "blocks" it.

_______________________________________________
At the same time: Stimulant medication has "success breakthought" in thinking. Funny, because antipsychotic's or Nueroleptic do the exact opposite, block dopamine, cause TD. Stimulants increase dopamine well, but also cause psychosis.These medications have been on in the past,
Current : Vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine) is a slowly released amphetamine, that works very unique, but it almost seems it doesnt work. It's not Dexedrine Spansules, nor Adderall XR (extented release forms)
First, dextroamphetamine is the best for cognition, thinking, and socializing, and thinking "clear". I notice when i am not taking, I experience a real brain fog......i researched and read articles that low dopamine causes Attention problems. I obviously have low dopamine, my brain just doesnt "make" enough of it. That why, incredibly "spacey" and "airhead" like symptoms are present when i'm not on any cognitive-thinking medication.
Caffiene....is horrible, you want to see a bad mood. Just i'll a starbucks, or any thing that has moderate levels of Caffiene, it does not cut it, and it makes incredible irritibity, and "marked" impariredness on math.
Strattera...does not give a feeling of increased thinking to normal. (For this case) It gives a feeling of increased mental energy, but "marked" irritiblity was definently present, i could not function, how can i function when i feel everything feels awful.
Adderall....very good, but gave too much "peripheral" stimulus. Heart race, alot of stuff with the body it would speed up. Count tolerate.
Dexedrine/DextroStat......this was the "best" medication. My doctor/psychiatrist doesnt believe using the "older" medications, and refused to listen how effective it was. High-Payed, certified, but he doesnt believe in any short-acting medications.
The *One, medication that is "vital" from going to a hospital is Xanax (alprazolam) which i've been on for years. He compromised in this one situation, but wants to reduce down to nothing for anxiety. Xanax provides immidiate relief from nuertoic, panic, sweating, calms thinking fast. It also, can be used for "over the top" thoughts, but it only lasts 2 hours MAX.
I also read that simply people do not, produce enough dopamine, also in severe. Parkinson's is maybe present, BUT, i do not want to make any assumption until medical testing is done, do not diagnose yourself.
_______________________________________________
Concentration and "higher" thinking are caused from high dopamine in the prefrountal cortex. Too much can cause Delusional, paranoia, think you have "master" power that are supernatural. I've experienced mainly at night, it goes very indeep to dwelling on reality and the perception of life.
The following day, after Seroquel, all my high thinking goes away, and i'm in "daze", "gloom"._______________________________________________
I know how to really tell this psychiatrist, dopamine needs to taken of, Vyvanse is unique, but its unprediable, i dont know when it's fully working. Dexedrine caused "set" concentration with 45min after ingestion.
How do i tell this doctor? "Vyvanse is not working"

*ask wanna talk about life. If your rerember me, i pop up when i want. But it's good to be home.
