Hi bluelight, couple questions I am hoping to ask and maybe get some insight on.
I was recently diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and I was given a prescription for Focalin XR 10mg 1x/day in the morning.
My questions are, [and this is after searching]...
1.Foxcalin XR 10mg, does this mean there is 10mg in the pill TOTAL, meaning 5mg released when taken and 5mg released awhile later, or does this mean 10mg when taken, and 10mg released later? Would the latter mean that there is a total of 20mg in each 10mgXR capsule?
2.Is Dexmethylphenidate Neurotoxic in anyway? Will it reduce or lower Serotonin levels? Will it deplete Dopamine/Norepinephrine levels in the brain over time?
3.Should I be taking N-Acetyl-Tyrosine to replace the D/N while taking this medication?
4.How will I know when I have gained too much tolerance to the drug that the dose is then ineffective? IE.All the symptoms come back or just doesn't feel as good as it used too anymore?
5.What should I be taking along with the Focalin to prevent neurotoxicity, reduce tolerance and potentially make the medication more effective?
6.Will drinking a base such as Milk before taking the medication make it absorb better?
7. I used to take 400-500mg Propylhexedrine every day for the past 7 months. Will I have a tolerance to the Focalin already when I switch over?
Thank you for your help ^^ I am very glad to have been given a second chance at life with this medicine, it's working wonders.
