If I think pergolide is Cylert?
If so I understand it is 2nd to Ritalin in popularity
for ADD in children.Assuming we're talking about Cylert, my understanding
is it has advantages to Ritalin in a longer half life.
There is one side effect concering some doctors,
I think its to do with liver, I don't know much there.I think the combination sounds possibly very good,
though I agree with Rick. For myself I would start with
SSRI first, then add Klonopin.After evaultating that I'd consider the Cyclert.
I find dopaminergics tricky. A good doctor
is hard to find. Especially stimulants tend to
be "up and downers". The longer half life might help.A definitely believe they can be used though!!
Sometime I might want to try something like
Wellbutrin (it is similar to a stimulant) with
something to blunt NE and enhance serotonin, like
Xanax, or tramadol, or Serzone + sertonergic.
