Hey guys, I just need to check: when you're saying that "amphetamine" should be OK with MAOI's, are you then referring to dexamphetamine or racemic amphetamine/Adderall?
I'm asking since I suffer from ADHD and don't respond particularly well to dex - I feel it's way too dopaminergic and mostly makes me tired, giving me a tunnel-vision kind of focus.
I don't have access to Adderall but racemic amphetamine works wonders for my ADHD - vastly improving working memory and not decreasing lateral thinking as much as dex.
I'm currently on 60 mg of Parnate for atypical depression and modafinil and nicotine for ADHD. Usually both the latter substances helps greatly with attention but now even they're feeling too dopaminergic, especially when combined (and on their own they don't provide enough relief).Also, is my doctor correct when stating that tranylcypromine absolutely has to be taken at least twice a day, as to not disturb plasma concentrations in the blood? I'd prefer talking it in the evening/night only, even though this messes more with sleep, since taking it in the morning makes me very very tired for the first 5 hours or so.
Would really appreciate your input!!
