Hey fb,
<<<I don't know your Dx's since I'm fairly new here. You mention dexedrine since 7th grade. Is that for ADHD? And you find that helpful? How long have you taken it? I take dexedrine right now and have mixed feelings about it. Yet it helps me function--so I take it. What other meds help you?>>>
I take Nuvigel, which increases attention, and it's better than nothing. It has apect's about it, that provide somewhat of a good "alertness". So, i'm thankful for that. The order which i've taken stimulant's for ADD are Ritilin which began in the 7th grade, then Adderall 8th grade (for about 6 years until 2005, which i started Dextrostat (for classes in TCC) over Adderall for the side-effects. 3 years on Prozac (which isnt a stimulant), from 2006-now, Vyvanse [2008] had a trial with it, it was started at 20mg, moved up to 70mg, then 140 (2 70mg capsules), then Spanusles (dexedrine) 60mg, which was 4 spansules for 12 hour's. Out of all of them, it provided good attention, and more on focus, and social aspect's. D-amphetamine, has this apect about it, stimulantes certain sector's, Nuvigel/Progviel just provides more of a "awakeness/alertness" aspect. Stimualant's where started in the 7th grade, not directly the spansules, I took Adderall XR in high school.

It's just when, trying to connect sometimes, when i'm in a "good functioning" mode, when things are active, communication is better.
Alot, of the time, i just know it's not being on the proper medication, I had to re-evaulate my medication/s and it came along, yet the ones I was on before work'd, yet I try to offer the best "pleasing" way to say "ok", then it doesnt benefit me, it's more people pleasing, even to a doctor. The less friction there is, the better I am, yet i'll leave the situation untreated (in aspects to keep social sitiation's on track, no friction). Then my thoughts drive me nuts.
Thanks for the response
