In reply to ADHD meds... What next?, posted by jealibeanz on January 4, 2007, at 7:41:40
There are always options. Don't give up. :-)
Sometimes the right option is actually something ridiculously simple and cheap.
Want to take something instead of gallons of coffee? More energy, without jitters, improved mood, improved concentration...all that good stuff? There is a food that is known to do all that. Without going into details, go to the net or go to the health food store and buy some Maca. There is a lot of research on it. I know it sounds whacko when we all talk about these heavy duty drugs all the time and then some friek says to try a South American food. But when all the heavy duty drugs let you down, commen sense logic tells me that trying something cheap and easy is not a bad thing. It sure beats tons of coffee and has tons of benefits as well.
Other than that, I've heard Desoxyn is the gold standard in stimulants. Try Maca first. Make sure to take enough...at least the full dose, maybe double or triple what it says. Give it 4 days to 30 days.
Weird I know. But continuing to try things that have proven not to work is weird too. Some of these great foods were put on earth for a reason. If you think coffee is ok, you will likely find Maca 100 times better, and without the jitters that usually come from stimulative things.
