Sadly Dextroamphetamine is banned in India and if you try to bring it in (like my pdoc in the US had suggested, as he felt this would suit me best) you will get 10 years in prison! It's ridiculous because ritalin just came in 5-7 years ago and provigil has been here for even less time. So before that people with narcolepsy were treated with TCA's!!!!Anyway, enough complaining! Infact I do have OCD and I would love to have tried Dextroamphetamine as my pdoc is the US thought it would suit me well.
Ritalin makes me a bit aggressive but doesn't depress me at all. That's my only option for a traditional stimulant....Thanks for your input
Take Care
D> Dextroamphetamine is really the stimulant to go to. Not only does it hit those pleasure centers (dopamine), but it also effects seratonin and norepenephrine levels positively. It also affects glutamate levels in the PFC, further helping with depression. AND if you're the ruminative type, d-amphetamine is indicated in the APA guidelines for the treatment of OCD.
