Thanks, just for the sake of science here, I am taking a break. Seems like a good idea to resteady so I can perhaps figure out what's going on. Again, I'm bewildered why small amount was quite helpful, while a slightly greater amount caused a mood crash which lasted morning, noon, and night for days, despite additional dosing. It didn't correlate to when I took the adderall, and it didn't involve any agitation. Blood pressure stayed low. This was glum, zero energy depression. It does seem to be lifting now, and I'm enthusiastically consuming fish oil and phenylalanine, plus stepped up excersising.
Can a single episode of modestly higher use somehow sap out the brain?
I'm also eager to try the brand version of adderal for my next refill. It's true, I do feel very suspicious of my particular generic, which the pharmacy tech seemed to not have much respect for, and which doesn't have a very good internet reputation. (I saw a lot of people complained mercilessly over this particular formulation on some of the ADD sites.) So if the brand isn't any better, I want to either go back to ritalin, which was fine in any amount with Emsam, or try dexedrine, which has a stronger mood-boost reputation. I think I will resist any recommendation to use the XR version of Adderall due to what others have recently reported about it. I'm also fascinated to read what so many people are reporting about the so called inert ingredients affecting the performance of various generic drugs.
