So, most of us with ADD know stimulants are highly effective but come with a price - when they wear off, ouch. Anxiety city. Doc recently wanted to try switching Xanax 1 bid with Ativan 0.5 bid + Lyrica 50 tid.
Anxiety is under much less control during the wear off period - I go from having everything under control to being worried and thinking about pretty emotional stuff. Now mind you, Dex has been the gentlest for me in this regard (Adderall, Ritalin et al, ouch) - but I am wondering if Vyvanse is "smoother" with its wear off effects.
Doing really well on:
Nardil 90mg
Xanax 1mg bid (switching back from this weird Ativan/Lyrica combo)
Dexedrine ER/Spansules 15mg bid
Ambien CR 12.5 @ HS
and testosterone therapy I'll resume as soon as I have an appointment with an endo...
