Does any on e know if dex sr. can be taken with the dex 5mg instant release? I am currently taking 2 5mg 3x per day i take my first dose at 6am when i get up and every 3 hours after that. so around 3-4 i am coming down pretty hard if take a 20 mg sr when i wake up at 6am and start my regular dose of 2 5mg around 12-1 pm will that make a big difference or be a mistake anyone on this kinda dose? any info would be helpful. I hardly ever use recreationly just for my problems. Thanks in advance Sonic.

well put. this isn't a disease, it is absolutely natural. except for this kid i used to know who was WAY to hyper, in a destructive way. i think he needed drugs.

A lot of LD kids are diagnosed with add/adhd because they "have problems focusing". I've worked a lot with elementary LD kids, and it was very obvious to me that their lack of attention was really just frustration and not knowing how to do the work. I'd have kids try to tell me stories, jump around in their chairs, play hide my pencil games....but it wasn't because they were hyper and couldn't focus, it was because they were being forced to do things like read, which they know they aren't bad at and feel pressured to work 10x as hard as other kids to be as "good" as they are. Who wants to do something all day that they're constantly being told they are bad at? I'd do anything to get a break from it too. But these kids are being put on stimulants rather than treating the real issue: no kid should feel like they are worse than other kids and have to bust their ass to meet a standard that is set to only a small percent of people.

My mam has been known to make claims that ADD and autism don't even exist.
Then again, she's a dinner lady for a living.

I've also worked a lot with autistic kids, and autism definitely exists....just to a widely varied degree.

I posted this over at advanced drug discussion, thought it would be relivent here
The end of my love affair with Dex
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have made alot of posts in here regarding dex, dependence, and its effects on me. I have also made alot of posts here in crisis despretly seeking answers to my awful debilitating depression/borderline personality disorder.
The last time I posted I had disolved dexies in big water containers at the perscribed strength in the hope it would stop me abusing them....well, put it this way, I was drinking alot of water. It did work and help but I was always trying to be high....not just concentrate. I was always trying to escape myself.
One night I took like a quarter of a selegiline to try n get higher...didn't work. At 5am the next morning my flatmate found me sitting in the loungeroom crying my eyes out over a relationship that ended in april that I was still coming to terms with. It went on for about 5 hours. I bottomed so fucking hard, it was like the selegiline sucked every bit of dopamine from my brain and for the first time in 12 months, I wasn't manic.
I went through around a week of terribble depression and found out how few friends I had left, saw my life going nowhere and during this time....despite wrestling with suicide, I found, I was able to funtion, keep my room clean, organise my thoughts, and look at planning my life. It is also interesting to note that I hate zero desire for amphetamines after this where before I would not cope if I couldn't have them for a few days. I still dont have a desire for them. So, I tipped the last down the sink, found something in myself and vowed to move adhead with my life.
I am for more depressed now than I was when I kept myself manic on dexies but it is real now, I am in control, I am dealing with the issues in my life. I have started a course to become a personal trainer, something I have failed 5 times before but now that I am on a mood stabiliser (lamictal) I am kicking ass. I also realised my mothers negitive influence in my life and cut her out of it. I stopped questioning myself over the breakup and just got focused on the upcoming court case (he falsely charged me with assult).
Some people on here are big proponants of combining dex with a mood stabiliser.
I say people with affective disorders have no business fucking around with amphetamines.
I have lost so much to them, yet, they were a journey I needed to have and I have also grown so much and found my strength and I will always have that.
If anyone else is going through dependence issues with stimulants I hope this story helps

PS Over a year ago selegiline also got me off meth, highly reccomended, just have someone to keep you safe because as you can see, it is to tweekers what naloxone is to junkies.
