> Ugh, does anyone know that this medication at low doses causes depression, just this sadness. What's going on is my doctor finally got the results and confirmed that I had ADHD with evidence from a SPECT scan, and actually there was more evidence in that, "99%" possiblility, yet also it confirmed Asperger's disfunction, and that is so humilating because I don't know why it wasnt picked up when I was younger, I do know that I had a hard time to get along with people and I've alway's had a problem with that, understanding like ... "social cues" and saying stuff that was offending and I didnt realize it. Alot of people just "mark'd" off there list.

> Anyone?I had a similar reaction on adderall xr. Dopamine is a tricky neurotransmitter. I used to just think more = better. Not true at all. Some meds block it and some make it last longer in your system - but neither necessarily does what you might think. But I know that if levels aren't right then there can be akathisia, which for me felt like an emotional straightjacket - truly awful... like nothing is quite right and you want to do a million things and at the same time you want to do nothing at all.
I'd think about asking for one of the other stims if you feel really bad on this. My 2 cents worth - hang in there.
