> It's a bloody pain that adults can't get their hands on ritalin or dexamphetamine ect here in Australia.. the laws are so tough it's near impossible. I even presented a huge paper on all the info and studies i could find on the use of stimulants and MAOI's to combat the hypotension but in the end just couldn't get it. Apparently it needs 5 pdocs to agree you need it and that's the only law i've been able to find out so far, so god knows what else is involved.
You and me both with the terrible MAOI hypotension. I suppose it wouldn't lower my BP to an unhealthly level if my BP wasn't already very good. Do you have a link to a document that shows the use of Ritalin to counteract MAOI hypotension? Do TCAs also cause hypotension for you? Also, if I'm not prying too much... what are you currently on?
Thanks,
