Not quite what you were talking about, but I've read reports by a couple folks who said that Xyrem (pharm GHB) was basically their AD/HD+fatigue 'cure,' which is interesting because unlike the CNS stims it goes after the root of the problem (for some folks) rather than addressing the symptoms. A shame it's so expensive and otherwise illegal. Not surprising, considering how sleep apnea or other sleep disorders can be a direct cause of AD/HD symptoms.

Ah, I was looking into selegiline some, though as a nootropic/ADHD-helping drug more than anything else. But then again, after the usefulness of the dextroamphetamine waned after such a short time I started looking into a million other things outside the realm of traditional CNS stims. :)

I took 450mg of the magnesium and 500mg L-Tyrosine around lunch time when my morning dose was wearing off and started to notice a difference a few hours later, before I took my afternoon dex dose, and when I did the effectiveness seemed to have returned! Going to see how it works for the next couple of days and I'll get back to you, but so far it's looking good. In a good way, the high feeling the dex was giving me for a week has pretty much left, leaving me motivated and attentive. I'm glad I asked- thanks a ton Kaye!
