> My med cocktail is pretty close to right. Currently I am taking Provigil instead of a stimulant. It does a fablous job of waking me the hell up but it doesn't touch the focus and conentration. I have tried all stimulants before with various issues. Adderall worked the best but it made me meaner than I already am. That was at a high dose. Has anyone found that they have less problems with a lower dose. Of course I still want it to work. Can't handle Focalin. Dexedrine makes it so I can't sleep. That leaves me with Ritalin in one of it's forms.

I take 40mg Adderall XR in the morning to augment a combination of Remeron (30mg) and Lexapro (10mg). It works well for me. Regular Adderall is a little too intense and short-acting for me. Ritalin isn't intense enough and far too short-acting. Provigil didn't do a thing and cost a fortune. I recommend the Adderall XR, at least for AD augmentation. I don't have ADHD so I can't address that usage.
