Lar- Thanks.
As for the questions as why do I take Topamax and why am I PLANNING to take Adderal (haven't been to the pharmacy yet), I'll try my best to explain. I took a SPECT Scan on my brain last year to determine if I was taking the right meds for anxiety/PTSD/OCD/depression...whatever... (I do not have the tests in front of me because I would obssess over them so I gave my copy back to my pdoc)but to the best of my knowledge the basal gangalia and anterior cingulate had extreme increased activity. My scan had a lot of red on it and that was not good. Topamax calms my brain down. Based on the other findings (temporal lobe I think) the doctor recommended Adderal to help with my symptoms of low motivation and internal preoccupation. Like, for example, the house is still a mess, and I am finally motivated enough to start cleaning it and I am wide awake at night even though I didn't take Provigil today. My body has kicked into stress mode. It now knows the party is tomorrow and theres no way with work tomorrow that I can get ready for the party without staying up really late and running around with my head cut off. See ya after tomorrow night. :) Unless I can't resist.
