> I never got any hypomania from dexedrine, Adderall, or methylphenidate. They all tended to make my personality kind of quiet and cold (which I don't like and partly why I am not on a stimulant now). Amps had a *slight* mood elevating effect, but mph had a complete zero effect on mood (if anything I felt slightly depressed at higher doses). SSRI's are what kick in the hypomania if I don't watch it.

what do you take now for mood stability and attention deficit mitch? ....

are you able to work without an ADD med? quiet and cold seems a price i'd be willing to pay to leave these poverty and get a real job, but who can say?

i find zyprexa makes me quieter, perhaps colder, but i always thought that was a sign i was becoming more normal :)

i thought dopamine agonists (stims) had the opposite effect.. i guess they make you interested and enthusiastic about boring things (work) but therefore less interested in interesting things (people)...
... i think some people here used to suggest stims for SSRI apathy

any info appreciated, oh grand master mitch :)
