Have you tried 10,000ui/day of Vitamin D?

I have not (though I do get a good amount of sun), will give that a shot, thanks. Also remember people saying magnesium helped too. Rereading what I wrote above, made it sound like I had ruled out afinilexpress but didn't mean it like that - will probably go with them.

rotating stacks is basically it, I’m afraid methylphenidate is also different enough mechanism-wise that it’s worth considering

Wanted to follow up on this with my experience, and a serious warning: I did ask for a trial of ritalin and got focalin (dexmethylphenidate) instead @ 20mg B.I.D. It sort of helped me focus for 2 hours, but during that time, I dissociated badly, and then I crashed. Horribly.

Like, so badly that if I didn't have experience with severe hopelessness, I might have been in serious trouble. The second time I tried it, I just spent the evening sobbing. It's been over a decade since I've been that miserable. I don't regret trying it, but WOW. Scary as hell.

I gotta say, I'm afraid of trying anything else for the time being. Although once I get my courage back (and find a new doctor), dexedrine would probably be next on my list, followed by desoxyn.

yikes! glad you’re ok buddy atypical reaction, makes me wonder how much was focalin and how much adderal withdrawal back when i took amps my script was for dexadrine and getting that l-amp out of the stack should help

these days it’s lots of coffee and nicotine and modafinil roughly half on half off; moda/armoda might be worth trying but my guess is your amp dose is high enough that you can’t just switch completely, it’d need to be lower dose + supplement

Thanks for the replies, and for the kind words! I am definitely very curious about Dexedrine. (Esp. b/c I know it's around the same $ as Adderall...) I hope the next doctor/NP is better about writing me a trial script without jeopardizing my refill of the meds that work.

Belated (I think I was AFK when you approved my follow request and just saw it now) thank you as well! No worries - I knew what I was feeling was from the drug and, although yeah, it sucked, it would stop within a day.

MSV So Much For Sobriety @anti_nihilistOH HI. The only one I HAVEN'T had all my life is hopelessness or guilt, but that may just be because I've trained myself to be near-psychopathic. No wonder Adderall works so well for me. Ordered a bunch of supplements that claim to support dopamine production; hope they help.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like - Show replies
