thank you. I have been worried that taking dexadrine would make it worse over time. Did you notice if your cycling improved with the long-acting version?
My cycling always been every few days or during the day. It is so weird to say that I have "cycling". I just always thought I had depression. Lamictal isn't doing enough/anything for stabilizing. But I have tried every other stabilizer and they made me much worse.
But since taking dexadrine, which has been about 10 months, I occassionally get a period of quick dips: down-up...down-up (seconds or minutes in between). Sometimes they are so subtle I'm not sure if they are happening. Sometimes they are a few seconds more. I may have a week without them, and then maybe a few days the next week. And of course no pattern, just like everything else.I don't know what they are, but I am suspicious that they are from dexadrine.
I have been on Lamictal for 3 years, at increasing dosages.
