Amphetamines are perfectly fine at therapeutic doses. Your problem is that you take them at too high of a dose, not that you take them at all.

I doubt you'll be very productive without a minimal dose of an amphetamine at this point, since you seem to have anhedonia when you're off it. You're probably like me, you're habituated. That doesn't mean you're addicted, and you have to come away from having simplistic relationships with drugs that can benefit you when they're used responsibly.

When I took Vyvanse, I took it as prescribed, but now that my doc won't give me vyvanse at a comparable dose as she gives me Adderall, I take more Adderall as-needed for papers and things, which means I run out of my script early.

Anyhow, you don't have superficial charm. It sounds like you have aspergers, though, since I feel like you feel, like you're faking it a bit too much and all around others... you have to be more rehearsed and all, because it wasn't likely easy for you to charm others when you were young; you had to learn it. This explains your social anxiety and perhaps non-verbal learning disorder. There's good aspergers support groups out there. Some doctors in your area may even specialize in it.

If you've ever had psychosis, you should know some psychosis is not uncommon among those with autism; there's a greater likelihood of it at some point if you have autism. You may just have a very high-functioning, benign autism. It may explain why you feel like you need to act so favorably and agreeable to others now.

Discuss with your therapist, and beware I may very well be full of s***. =)
