>or Adderall because these are indiscriminate dopamine agonists.i could use the extra anti-ADD effects of ritalin/adderall, but dont they make you sleepy when they wear off in the evening?
> That means they have a huge range of effects, while Provigil is very selective at helping you sleep less. Ritalin or Adderall can actually counteract the good effects of an antipsychotic.i'm taking the anti-psychotic for mood stabilizing, not anti-psychotic, effects
my feeling has been that large doses of soft drinks stimulate me but also make me calm...
others have also said that stimulants help stabilize their moods ...i'm hoping for the same... your argument makes sense from a theoretical point of view, but can you point me to any info that discusses mood stability and combining antipsychotics with ADD-meds?
much appreciated
