Caffeine, MPH, AMP

[Tevil19]

Hi all,
I would like your opinion.
Methylphenidate
3 weeks ago I got prescribed ritalin to treat add. At first is was working wonders. Some time after I noticed terrible side-effects(anxiety, restlesslegg,shallow breathing. MPH is extremely effective for add.

I tested d-amp for my add.illegally. I have to say that amphetamine was doing a really good job. No serious side-effects. No rapid pounding heart. More socialable, more compassion. More productive and above all, more fun.

I discuss this with my doctor and he wont give d-amp out of the blue. What should I do? When ýou're diagnosed with add, shouldnt all medications give it al shot and see wat works best. I indulge a few times in life. But via a doctor it is controlled and supervised. Besides how many speedaddicts were diagnosed adhd. Doctors will still give stimulants, despite the fact that they have problems

Im a little scared that if i dont take MPH anymore, there is an chance to relapse.

Do you think it is fair that im only prescribed ritalin, even though another med is out there doing a better job for me?


Comment, criticise alwsys welcome!

I don't know; frankly, if you know that dextroamphetamine does what you need without all the obnoxious cardiovascular side effects and the jitters, and your current doctor doesn't want to prescribe it you, see if you can replace the doctor. As far as throwing meds at the wall, you want to stop once you find something that works for you; it doesn't sound like the methylphenidate is. If you can, find a doctor who's willing to work with you to adjust your medications based on desired efficacy and side effects, then see if they'll start you on a low dose of D-amp to start.

I would recommend Focalin (dextromethylphenidate), it's smoother and more effective than MPH, with less side-effects. The reason I'm recommending this is because in the long run, MPH tolerance resets quickly and is not permanent, Amphetamines build permanent tolerance due to neurotoxicity and via a yet not fully-studied mechanism. If you want an Amphetamine type stim for ADD, your best bet is Desoxyn (d-methamphetamine), as this has zero side-effects and less neurotoxicity in the long run, and of course, it's the most fun one out there
Good luck and stay safe.

I am now prescribed d-amp because the doctor agreed with me that ritalin is not the right option. So I started out with 30mg a day. I feel so much better. Calmness and clarity in mind and body. It feels softer than m-phenidate. No more restlessness or hyped up feelings. As for the rebound, virtually non-existent. Thank you guys for helping me.
