hello there, no need to underscore...first off, might i offer some suggestions you can add to the mix? we shall get to the amphetamines anon.

(1) a substantial number of people spend a great deal of time on-line, for work, pleasure, communication, and so on. some of us sit in front of a computer all day because that is the tool we must use in order to keep ourselves busy and productive. you mention college looming soon, a lousy home life, and social pressures (if i may rephrase a bit). these are serious issues and if you do not have a therapist or counselor to meet with at least weekly, you will pay the price later. you might consider budgeting some of your screen-time for face-time with the consent of your custodial parent.

(2) is your doctor - and i am asking this for real - switching your medication regimen weekly? i have heard stories and seen some stuff over the years but your medication trials take the prize. there is the lure of alcohol and equally or less toxic substances awaiting you, and it will not go away until you are through with college. this needs to be on your radar. now, i have to turn up the volume a little bit. make sure you read this.

(3) STOP SCREWING AROUND WITH DAD'S DILANTIN, BARBITURATES, VODKA, GHB, MDMA, BENZODIAZEPINES, TYLENOL, AND WHATEVER ELSE HAS PASSED THROUGH THE CYP450A LOCAL.

now, you had a question about adderall and the fading efficacy. here i go again...

(4) YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET ``HIGH'' ON YOUR MEDICATION, ESPECIALLY A SCHEDULE II BLEND OF d,l-AMPHETAMINE SALTS. IF THE POINT OF A PLANNED MEDICATION VACATION IS TO BRING BACK THAT LOVING FEELING, YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S GONE, GONE, GONE.

(5) many people in the past 10 to 15 years have stepped up to the plate and taken the SSRI or SS/NRI offered them. after a few weeks of dry mouth, increased sweating, disrupted sleep, some hair loss, weight gain, halitosis, bankruptcy, forclosure, mugging at gunpoint, divorce, and a close friend spontaneously combusting in the garage, the patient starts feeling better. of course, this does not happen overnight: it's more like two weeks.

(6) after a time, medication is tapered, augmented, replaced, and so on. repeat step (5) above. but the point is that mistakes are made and in time - time for you to start collecting social security - the right combination of meds and therapy will be in place.

(7) buy a PDR.

(8) be well. all the best, chemist
