> I do not think my Adderall is working. I told him that last time, and rather than switching me to another ADD drug, he added Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin helps my depression for sure, but the Adderall just doesn't do anything for my inattentive ADD.

> I want to try Ritalin. How do I phrase my question to my pdoc without sounding like a drug head?Umm, I wouldn't worry about it, just tell him u want to try it, that's all I did.. it's not like ritalin has any more abuse potential than amphetamine. Ritalin helped my inattentive ADD and depression, but then again, so does Adderall. Ritalin also gave me the same kind of "edginess" I get from Wellbutrin, a strange kind of uneasiness that benzos don't do anything for, so I've finally settled on dexedrine spansules.
