So anyway, amphetamines seem to no longer work for me like they used to. I mostly experience painful physical stimulation, and at night I require benzos (which used to never happen) for the come down. I'm looking for a change.
I just started back on vyvanse 50 mg a couple weeks ago. I had taken a 2 month break because I quit suboxone, and didn't want extra stimulation. Anyway, after trying the drug at both therapeutic doses and twice my dose, I find that it no longer controls the symptoms I deal with on a daily basis, symptoms which seem to mean a lot more now that I'm doing an internship and all. I find this extremely strange due to the long break from the amphetamine drugs.
However, there's something that may have affected it--my excessive DXM use. From what I read, I used it in the SNRI range of DXM dosage, so could that attribute to my body being very tolerant of stimulatory effects? I used DXM quite often, probably at the most 4 times a week in the 300-450 range for the majority of the time, and two 600mg doses. The reason I used DXM was because it killed my sub withdrawal symptoms instantly, and helped get me clean.
Anyway, I've tried ritalin before, adderall, vyvanse, and wellbutrin for add. wellbutrin seemed more like a subtle medication that could be added onto a normal adhd med to add benefit. The ritalin (i got instant release) was too "rough" for me, and made me feel weird, plus it was short lasting.
Would something like focalin be an option for me? Here's my theory, amps and ritalin-esq drugs work in different ways; so, if I switched to focalin (a drug that supposedly compares to, or surpasses adderall--although in different ways), would I experience better effects?
I have a family member holding the pills so abuse isn't a worry. I'm just so frustrated with this. I can't imagine even bumping up to 70mg of vyvanse would change much of anything.
Thanks for the input. Any other suggestions would be amazing.
Sincerely,
PC
