> I have never tried dexedrine or adderall, I'm intrigued and a little worried about trying them, because if they don't work, no shorter acting drug probably will.

Well, if they help initially, and you're feeling experimental/desperate, you could always try the famed Memantine + Adderall combo, though you'd probably have to obtain Memantine online as well (which is possible).

It became more pronounced the next day. So I might need more of an accumulation of neurotransmitters than a stimulant can offer in a few hours.

Sorry, I meant that maybe the 'color' thing might naturally fade away with more potent NE drugs regardless.

Yeah, as an (ex-)writer, I miss planning pieces in my head. I was always toying around with particular words I might like to use, or spontaneously coming up with metaphors/ideas during the day. It's been forever. At this stage, I've (no pun intended) written that part of me off as irrevocably gone.

Yeah, that must suck. Try as it might, I guess psychiatry can't really find new diagnostic models to encompass all the problems it creates.

Well, there's no reason you can't still try Effexor right? It's not like requesting Mirapex or something.
