In reply to Dexedrine works on and off, posted by winter on June 21, 2002, at 18:04:34
hi winter. you sound quite similar to me. i take dexedrine daily but i also find it works some days while not others. if it does work it is usually suttle, but sometimes im full of energy, talkative, motivated, interested, etc.
i like the sound of katekite's idea. for me, if i sleep in really late for a long time i just cant get up early. slowly get up earlier, but of course i dont know you're situation, so its up to you.
dexedrine poopout is something not many doctors have a solution for. I have recently read some very interesting information that claimed that a medication called memantine prevents stimulant poop out. it is a nmda antagonist, which i have no clue as to how this would prevent stim poopout. some posters have reported this benefit, and a study was done to see if memantine could help with crack addiction. it didnt, in fact those taking memantine reported feeling much more euphoria and all that when they smoked crack. stimulants rarely have any effect on me. (yes, i regret doing it, but even high quality cocaine had no effect on me, while those i was with were bouncing off the walls)
i cant offer you a lot of studies to prove this, but it doesnt sound like a dangerous, addictive, or side effect causing medication so you may want to keep this in mind.
on the a side note, what are you're main simptoms? i have social anxiety, dysthymia, cfs, and add. if you have any of these symptoms, then i could possibly offer you some help.
