> when I took ritalin LA (am) and focalin tablet (afternoon) plus Abilify, I had similar problems. When the Ritalin started to wear off, I'd get weird twitches and dysphoria. It was like EPS, but it only happened either between the 2 doses of ritalin or after the second dose had worn off. Sad times :-(

I tried Adderall 5mg and I thought I was going to pass-out. I suspect my BP shot up, amongst a whole other slew of SE's - I couldn't see properly, I was having hot&cold flushes, bizarre sensations and so on. I was at work at the time - very unpleasant experience.
