Hi Zo,
Thanks for your reply ... I had never heard of "amphetamine poop-out" either until this board. A few people said it was common -- Andrew B's response was especially detailed as to how and why it could happen.However, I can definitely understand your point --fatigue does happen for a lot of reasons. The fatigue I experienced was a different kind of fatigue though; like a fuzzy-brained, dizzy exhausted ... I normally experience fatigue with my depression, but this was a bit different.
Anyway, I do appreciate your response. What else do you take for your CFS besides Dex? Or does the Dex do the trick for you?
Thanks again,
-cindy> Sorry, I didn't follow your earlier thread, but I was and am concerned and curious because I have not heard of nor experienced a stimulant poopout. Have been on Dex for 3 years, have a friend same with Adderall.
