Alchemy,
So far, it has been the only thing to restore pleasure and relieve my social anxiety. I haven't been on as many meds as some here--only being treated for the past ten years or so--but ssri's and snri's keep me afloat, but don't touch that part (pleasure and friends). So I loathe to give it up, though to my mind, I think of it as speed. When it does wear off--in the evenings usually, I may take some xanax .25 or so. But my thoughts become fairly dark. (Not suicidal, usually.) Then I go to sleep. I've thought of dopamine agonists like mirapex, but for now, my pdoc supports this treatment. I've also thought of emsam or parnate....that could be in the future. I know the adderall wasn't good for you at all, so I thought the longer acting stims might be appropriate. Are you working with a doc that knows your history well?
