> Hi, Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth.... Vyvanse made my moods worse but is longer acting.... Adderall XR and Dexedrine spansules have been the most effective for me....(but I have Some adhd traits- impulsive type) Provigil did nothing for me and Focalin and Ritalin were not nearly as effective....
> That was just my experience (and we are all different). Adderall XR is my current adhd med and seems to be working again (at a low dose- 10 mg). Helps me with focus, motivation, and getting things done! I can't (for the life of me) write reports without it - so it might be worth a shot for you as you say you are a writer. Just wanted to chime in here- hope it helps
>thanks frustredmama. from what i've read, consensus seems to be that dexedrine (and to a lesser extend adderall) are the cleanest stims. in the interests of making a case, i've printed out a paper which suggests that ssri-induced anhedonia is best treated using dopaminergics, as well as one outlying how dexedrine has little effect on OCD (and in some cases will improve it). hopefully that's enough to convince my pdoc to prescribe a stim off-label. otherwise, like i say there is also the possibility of mirapex, and maybe amisulpride .. which i guess are 'dirtier' options
