> How is your Adderal trial going? What else are you taking with it?
Hi Ed,
Thanks for asking about me. How are things with you.
Adderall has been fantastic. I am now on Amisulpride, Selegiline (low dose) and Adderall. As you can see, these meds are all dopaminergics. (I also sometimes take a low dose of Klonopin 2 hours before bedtime for a more restful sleep.)
They seem to work synergistically, one making the other work better. It is an idea of mine that selegiline make amisulpride work more robustly. You see, when I was taking amisulpride alone, its effects used to wilt in high stress situations. Selegiline seems to make less of a dose of adderall necessary. Amisulpride may prevent the agitation and anxiety that can sometimes accompany selegiline and adderall use.
I now feel happy, friendly, motivated, energetic, sharp and quite confident. In short, I'm loving life. It is an amazing change that has come over me.
I am of course concerned that adderall will lose its effectiveness overtime. Tolerance developing to it is not unusual. Fortunately I was feeling pretty good on just the amisulpride and selegiline, so I won't be devastated if it happens to give out. I have absolutely no side effects.
I hope this is an inspiration to others who think they may have dopaminergic dysfunction. If you do indeed have it, correcting it can make a big difference in your life. The first dopaminergic drug that you try though isn't necessarily going to work for you. You may have to be patient and try different meds and med combos.
