Starting Dextroamphetamine

Posted by mtdewcmu on April 14, 2011, at 10:49:55

I thought I'd start a new thread for a fresh start. I took 10mg of dex with a small latte at about 8:00 AM. I didn't bother to eat breakfast, but I had already taken my 300mg Wellbutrin XL. I hope this lets me stop Wellbutrin, so I can be spared the sweating and the expense.

It is way smoother than Ritalin. Absolute night and day difference. I am kind of getting the "glasses for my brain" feeling that people with ADD talk about. They've said it about Ritalin, but Ritalin did no such thing for me. This seems to be working. I actually took some trash out of my car trunk without having to specifically set out to do that, so that's a good sign. I'm getting a little of the vaunted euphoria, but it alternates with some lingering depressed ruminations, and I'm not certain it won't turn anxious yet. I feel more inclined to sit and stare at things than to do work for now, but I'm not going to force it. I have a month's worth of Dex and probably can continue taking it indefinitely, so there's plenty of time to just feel it out before I force myself to work.

Already at 40 minutes in, it's more promising than 40 minutes in to Ritalin. I'll post more as it unfolds.
