In reply to SOCIAL ANXIETY / OCD/ ADHD CURE --100%, posted by Henry Miller on May 26, 2008, at 17:24:11
> I have Obsessive Compulsive ADHD which, largely as a result of being untreated for twenty some odd years, has manifested itself into an amalgam of psychological conditions: the most prominent ones being Social Phobia, agoraphobia, OCD, Body Dysmorphobic disorder, perfectionism, both cerebral and somatic narcissism and as of late, major depression. I've trialled over 40 medications, none of which really worked....until I stumbled across Desoxyn (methamphetamine hydrochloride).
>
> -->Beginning last June I began: 5 mg Desoxyn 2x daily. This medication, although nearly impossible to get prescribed, is wonderful. I could never tolerate stims such as Adderall, Ritilin or Dexedrine..but with Desoxyn, there have been no side effects such as increased anxiety/ agitation. In fact, I am much more calm and sleep peacefully on Desoxyn (8 hours consistently). It's unfortunate that methamphetamine has earned such a negative reputation in our society as the medication can truly be therapeutic. NOTE: I've been on 10mg/ day for over a year now and have had no desire to abuse Desoxyn or other illegal drugs.

> -->Thus 1 month later, I added 25 mg Zoloft
> ADHD: 90% cured
> Social Anxiety: 95% cured
> Depression: 100% cured
> OCD: 95% cured
> Zoloft in this low-dose has been ineffective in past trials but now appears to synergize with the Desoxyn, providing substantial relief for my OCD, Social Anxiety, and Depression, as well as boosting my cognition, surprisingly.

> -->As an experiment, I added 75mg Wellbutrin 1x daily.
> AHHD: 100% cured
> Social Anxiety: 100% cured
> Depression: 110% cured
> OCD: 100% cured.
> Wellbutrin seemed to supercharge the meds I was on , providing complete relief...and I mean...COMPLETE 100% relief.

> Current MED Summary:
> 10 mg Desoxyn
> 1 mg Klonopin Wafer
> 25 mg Zoloft(5 htp also worked but not as well)
> 75 mg Wellbutrin (L-Phenylalanine worked but not to the same degree as Well)
>
> I've had ZERO side effects from this regiment apart from some slight dry mouth. I've had no tolerance issues(though you could supplement with Namenda to reduce amphetamine tolerance if you have this problem--Namenda is a totally safe drug but I think vigorous exercise is more effective).
>
> I consistently sleep 8 hours a day, run 5 miles or so in the morning and lift weights in the evening, eat a Gluten/Lactose/Casein free diet full of vegetables: I have Celiac's Disease. I also take a Multi Vitamin, Omega 3 and a choline supplement.
>
> I'm in the best shape of my life. My libido is like that of a 15 year old.
>
> My creativity has skyrocketed as have both my cognition and memory.
>
> More importantly, I've been able to move out of my parents home, get a job, get a girl friend, and start making my own money. This is HUGE for me!
>
> All the meds I take are crucial for relieving my symptoms 100% but Desoxyn is, by far, the most responsible for my drastic improvement over the past year. I can't recommend this medication enough to people suffering from social anxiety: which is really just a byproduct of undiagnosed ADHD in my opinion.

Hello I am new to this thread and I must say I am extremely happy that I found it. Very much of what was described sounds a lot like what I suffer from. Henry, it sounds like you have a very unique doctor. I was wonderig in what area exactly is he from. I live in the St. Louis area and am having a bit of trouble finding a psychiatrist to treat my condition. Any response would be greatly appreciated.I wasn't sure if my first post made it through so I posted again. Sorry.
