I don't have amphetamine psychosis. But I take Ritalin and when I take enough of it to actually help a lot it makes me obnoxious. No one including me can stand to be around me. I talk a talk incessantly or write. But mostly talk about anything and nothing. Bounce off walls.
Unfortunately stimulant type meds are one of a few in the arsenal of meds that provides any help. The Ritalin is not helping my focus or concentration much at all though. I cannot take adderal I am sure. I have tried dex and a few others and I cannot take them because of a bladder disease. It is embarrassing to talk so much so I hardly take the Ritalin anymore. My family tells me how they can talk to me now. But I am more depressed and have a difficult time getting out of bed etc.
I was thinking of trying Strattera, which gets me to why I posted.
Any suggestions? Something that will be stimulating increase motivation, focus, drive, concentration. The magic bullet:)
