Hi Sarah,
I am on Adderall, 20 mg before getting out of bed and 5-10mg five hours later. When do you take your 3 doses?
Look at the thread (just archived) from 6/8 and 6/9/00 entitled somebody please help..." by Lazukars. At the bottom, I added two posts about Provigil, which is a drug for Narcolepsy being tested for ADD use. Another guy, Rick is taking it with Klonopin and something else and says it creates motivation as well as energy. I think that is what I am lacking.
I faxed some articles to my doc and hope to give it a try soon. The Adderall gives me energy BUT I still feel "sleepy" in the afternoon (although I couldn't sleep if I tried) and have low level depression. Doc added Buspar for this and it is working "OK" but not as well as I would like. I have the advantage (or disadvantage, depending on how you see it) of having taken medication that REALLY worked and now it's hard to settle for just OK. The one that really worked? Not available in the US and now discontinued. Oh well... I'm not giving up until I feel well again.
