In reply to Adderall dosing Depression...PLEASE help!, posted by becksA on November 1, 2004, at 10:37:45

My suggestions:

1. You could try to take calcium carbonate 15-20 miutes before you take the adderall, and that would help to keep it active in your system longer.

2. You could dose like this: 30mg on waking, 30mg at 12-1pm, and then take the IR tablet later (as you'll have to experiment with the change to see when you may need it.)

3. Do you drink coffee? Caffiene in pill or drink form potentiates amphetamines.

4.Quinine: This is found in tonic water at your local wal-mart, albertsons, etc. Pretty much anywhere they cell soda water used for gin and tonics. You'll have to check the label to see which one contain the quinine. Quinine helps drugs of all types to cross the blood-brain barrier, although I'm not sure if it would be effective for amphetamines, it does work for opiates.

5. Take a supplement called dlpa (phenylalanine) to help rebuild the dopamine, norepinephrine, and phenethylamine in your brain. Take about 1000mgs/day about 1hr before meals or 2hrs after one.

6. Have you tried deprenyl(Selegiline)? It is a selective MAO-B inhibitor which by itself increases brain levels of dopamine and phenethylamine. Dopamine is released by Adderall, and deprenyl would keep the released dopamine around longer. It has been shown to increase the effects of amphetamines by people on this board. In addition, it protects your dopaminergic neurons from neurotoxicity from amphetamines, although this may or may not be relevant in the doses you take. Human studies are lacking as to how much amphetamine destroys neurons.

7. You could try combinations of these methods.

Hope this help and good luck,
Justin
