Yeah, I'm sure I was high, but I was much closer to who I actually am at heart than I was drug-free.
I know what you mean.
> Can you not tolerate d-amphetamine?
Unfortunately not.
>How about methamphetamine?
I'm reluctant to try it because despite it's increased tolerability over amphetamine, meth is partially converted to d and l-amp in the body---and I am EXTREMELY sensitive to them (15 mg of Dex over 3 days sent me to the emergency room).
>> If not, have you ever tried MAOIs? That sounds out in left field, I know, but they are MUCH better than nothing for ADHD.
I never have, and it actually doesn't sound that crazy. Actually, I get the impression they're much more reliable than most other AD's.
Do you know how they compare to stimulants in terms of peripheral activation? I'm very sensitive in that regard and so am considering a trial of Provigil first.
