Why do I do this to myself, I was finally feeling fine, no mood swings. I am on Neurontin and Effexor and they were really working control my moods found the right dosage. The only problem is I got tired of feeling numb, no real ups and no real downs. Tired of getting by rather then excelling or being productive. Of course I was forgetting the horrible memmories of nights spent up swallowing adderall feeling restless with my thoughts. So I took them. I should have thrown that bottle away.

Are you really going to throw it away? (I will throw it away for you ... ; ) )
All kidding aside, I did the same thing with Dexedrine (similar to adderall). Realized later my being up all night was merely result of me taking it at night and that 1mg lasts a full day for me to excellent effect - before wearing off and able to become tired.
(I respond well to ultra low dose - I read recently when that happens - is probably indicative of dopaminergic dysfunction in individual)

Chad,
I know my neurotransmitters have issues, but I feel my addictive tendency gets the best of me, it just feels so nice to have ambition instead of the apathy I feel on AD's however I really had the feeling the next day. If I could just take one adderall I would be fine but I tend to abuse, thats what I meant
Thanks
Noelle

> NoelleI understood what you meant, Noelle-
Adderall's great stuff. I would actually take it daily if it weren't for the anxiety.
I mostly used it to pull all nighters to write a paper when I put it off too late. Not wise, but I suppose it beats an F...
Arrg. Wish I could combine Adderall with Klonopin or something... but right now I'm working with Desoxyn, maybe it'll work better once I get to a high enough dose...

Noelle - yes I know what you mean...
My Dr's got very conservative last Jan - and I think this will continue until statute expires - or unless I don't give them the facts up front as I'm used to...
