Also, it's not clear whether Cylert has a similar mechanism of action to these other stimulants. (BTW, amphetamine has at least one mechanism that Ritalin doesn't have; this might be part of the reason you had trouble switching over. Cylert probably would not "cover" for amphetamine withdrawal, either.)

Hi elizabeth, I heard that Cylert can be helpful for people who have fatigue, and OCD - ritalin and dexedrine make my OCD worse, I'm using modafanil right now, but I seem to be gaining tolerance, and I need something that will enable me to function as I'm in school and take zyprexa and effexor, which make me tired. Would you be able to tell me how I could go about obtaining Clyert as it is no longer on the market

Thanks so much

Ben
