ADD-inattentive - Adderall no longer helps - what

Posted by btnd on December 20, 2003, at 14:57:27

I have a son who has ADD-inattentive (quiet) type. He is on Adderall and this medication worked WONDERFUL for him. It made him motivated, calm, non-anhedonic, he had lots of energy and drive to succeed.
After 2 months, he is at highest possible dose (30mg), because the tolerance has risen so suddenly in his case, and the med is now not working at all. It is making him full of anxiety, there is no motivation and energy like before, he tells me that nothing interests him anymore. If I'd only know about substances that block amphetamine tolerance (NDMA antagonists like memantine,magnesium,DXM,L-theanine) - I'd give him with his daily dose of Adderall. But I had known nothing about it back then. What should I do now? I'm really desperately trying to help him out. What to do? Thanks in advance for the response.

Brad
