Ive heard many anecdotes of people stoping and "reversing" their tolerance to stimulant ADHD medication, and increasing the efficacy of them. SWIM is in college and takes 70mg (tries to take) every day and between 0-15-30mg of adderall ir. They have noticed the past month or two months, the vyvanse is not giving SWIM that kick like it used to. And when they do get it, it is very short lived (2-4hours max) then tapers off into feeling drained, dull, but focused for 5 hours. The adderall doses prn help SWIM but they too are becoming less effective in treating SWIMs ADHD and they are lagging a bit in college currently because of it.
If SWIY has any experience combining memanting and/or acamprosate with ADHD medications (adderall, dexedrine, vyvanse) please let me know if SWIY thinks obtaining memantine and/or acamprosate is worth it with respect to reduction in tolerance and increasing efficacy of medications to what they were previously.
Any help on how SWIM could take my medications in a better way to improve my symptoms and get me back in gear?
Will weekend breaks really do much of a difference?
If SWIM drank cough syrup (DXM) would they help?
Can SWIM increase their dose above 70mg vyvanse, since this is the max dose supplied?
