TOlerance is what I am "afraid" of ... I've had ADD for many years and find that stimulants work "miracles". Pretty pathetic that, in my 50's - I'm just figuring all of this out.
Adderall works best for me. It takes 30-40mg of Ritalin about 2X a day to "focus" me to any coherent level.
I just wonder if the tolerances that do develop are as bad as that of opiates, etc. I've seen people for years on those drugs and its a never-ending cycle of needing more and more and more - to the point where it doesn't work at all after that. Now that I've spent 2/3 of my life unfocused - I'd like to focus for the last third.
How does one deal with that? P-docs are more worried about their liability than your "pain".
