I tried ritalin years ago and it made me feel too wired and jittery.
Adderall worked well in helping me focus and block our the background noise I struggle with daily. I really miss taking it since I'm now on Nardil and can't take it with it.
I have tried tiny doses of D-amphetamine, which is supposedly the generic form of the fast acting Adderall. It has some effect,but I can only take 2.5 or 5 mg at a time. Beyond that I have precipitated a hypertensive reaction, so that was unintended and scarey.
I just started Wellbutrin to see if that will be helpful for the ADD-like symptoms I have always struggled with, i.e. lack of focus, inability to read or follow movies, impulsiveness, overstimulation, etc.
I believe a big part of my recalcitrant depression is from these untreated ADD issues.
How about your symptoms for taking a stim?
