I was invovled in a thread where someone with SP took Dexedrine and it made them feel very outgoing. I might try replacing Wellbutrin SR with Dexedrine. Though my problem is both metal and physical, meaning the SP often leads to a panic attack. I hope a stimulant won't agitate this problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Carlos
