> Why do you plan to discontinue Adderall XR?
------------


Hi Theo,

I have three main reservations regarding my use of a pstim on a long-term basis:

1. A phenomenon I call "pstim induced burnout". When I take even a moderate dosage of a pstim over a relatively short period of time, I experience severe burnout (i.e.; EXTREME fatigue, zapped of all energy, etc.).

2. Tolerance (i.e.; higher and higher dosages are required over time to achieve the same level of benefit). Adderall is notorious for its tolerance tendencies and in the short three months that I have been taking it, I find myself continually needing to increase the dosage. [Having said that, it should be noted that I am taking a VERY small dosage of Adderall XR (currently 5 mg every other day)]

3. pstim poop-out. After an extended period of use, the pstim simply stops working no matter how much I take. When this happens I’m left on the side of the road in a miserable heap, stuck in a DEEP atypical depression with no way to get out.

Therefore, I am considering a trial of Selegiline.
