ldo Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Anyone got any information or seen any studies on the use of amphetamine type stims together with methylphenidate types? One type (especially Adderall) can make me feel anxious, the other one seems to stop me from expressing much emotion (per s.o.'s observation), plus it can feel like having a boss inside my head. So it seems like the combination might get to a good place in between. I'll admit that I've tried a bit of Adderall and a bit of Focalin at the same time and it felt right, but I can't find any papers on this, and my pdoc won't prescribe as she says it hasn't been studied. I suspect SOMEONE has, though. I don't intend to go to outside channels or anything, want to work with the pdoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've read in one of the Howell/Ratey books that it's not infrequently done and have done so myself. Have you tried dexidrine spansules? I find dexidrine a lot cleaner than adderall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldo Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Cleaner and less effective. But at least tolerable. I feel like the combo is more effective. Just spent an hour raking frigging leaves in the dark. Not fun, but I got it done. Of course, now I'm messing around on the net when I ought to be doing other things. I have very little of the stuff left. If I could find some good references, I might run them past my pdoc and see if she'd change her mind. Didn't find much on PubMed today.

Velvet Elvis Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I think it came up in Driven to Distraction or one of those books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldo Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well, maybe I should have forgotten about it. Having a nice arrhythmia experience. Off to doc's office now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldo Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Not sure if that's what caused it, as I can think of several other possible causes. But when they finally gave me meds to get the rate down, it stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
