I can relate with what you are going through,I,ve felt the same way many times about stimulant therapy.I take Dexedrine(settled on it after trial runs with Ritalin and Adderrall)and it has a remarkable effect on my thinking and getting things done.I have ADD and ,I also have to take Methadone for Chronic Pain.The Methadone helps control pain very well and cheaply,too,but it makes your head feel like a brick,heavy and thick.Coupled with ADD,I can,t hardly get nuthin done without the Dex.Even so,it,s still a double -edge sword to me.After a long trial-and-error period,I,ve found that the best way for me to go,is 3 weeks on,then,1 week off.If I do it this way,I don,t tend to get so fried on the Dexedrine that it starts working adversely,like the Adderrall is doin to you.I tried takin it every day and after 4-5 months,I started getting angry and short after taking the first days dose.I tried different things and realized that the 3 on,1 off,was the best I could hope for.That 1 week off is not much fun,but the 3 on are quality and it keeps me from gettin burnt out on it.Just an idea.Festus
