Hi Mishal,
I have had really great success with ritalin, untill it pooped out and tolerance and cardiac issues made it useless. Strattera had little benefit and gave me slight anxiety. Provigil made me feel horrible, heart palpitations, completely spacey, and way to much anxiety. ENSAM little in the way of benefits, and BP and food restriction became impossible even at the lowest dose. Ive recently been on Wellbutrin, which has been one of the more successful trials. I did really really well initially (first month) then seemed to loose some if not all of its effectiveness. I seem to develop tolerance to dopaminergic and or meds that give me a boost very quickly. Iam currently taking a break from Wellbutrin, and will add it back in with low dose lithium, and the equivalent of zeplin as enhancers.
Ive got trivastal in the mail for my next trial and so was wondering if you could give some final remarks about your experience with it. Specifically I was wondering if you could explain why you got off trivastal. Did you end up having any side effects besides sleeping less? Did you get off because the good effects were lessoning? I was wondering if you noticed any tolerance during the short time you were on it? Any problems now that your off of it...more tired during the day? Also were you getting it prescribed or did you take it on your own?
Have you had experience with stimulants, wellbutrin, or any other dopamine enhancing meds? If so what was your experience with them so I can compare.
my description: chronic fatigue, ADD inattentive type, lack of motivation, anhedonia,
thanks
