This is what seems to happen everyday now and I'm fed up. I need some kind of Amphetamine at least every now and then but usually everyday to wake up, and Adderall XR 30. I have been on this med in particular for five years or so maybe a bit longer as I have been on Adderall most of my life. Heres the issue. I'm in MMT my dose seems just perfect its at 60mgs, and I will probably move back to 50 tomorrow maybe. My clinic is not to far away, but far enough that when I get there of a morning my adderall kicks in. I take my valium, which have been on for 8 months now, and benzos in general for 3 years or a little over. So around the 5 hour mark the adderall makes me kinda spazz out. I feel really anxious. I kinda feel like a rock. Its hard to describe really but basically I end up in a depressed mode and feel like not doing a thing. This never used to happen. I Dunno what the deal is. I kinda wish it would stop but it seems to not stop. I cant take more benzos because after last night I found it wayyyy over medicated me when I took more than the usual amount of benzos. Is there anything I can do? Would my doctor mprobably be willing to give me dexedrine if I gave him a good reason or just the regular irs ? I feel like the xr system has something a little to long lasting for someone like me.

This is kind of scattered as am I
 
I would talk to your doctor about your reaction to the adderol. I've had plenty of reactions that seem similar to what you're going through from different meds. It's important that the side effects don't outweigh the therapeutic value of the medicine.
 
I could give up the adderall for a week and see if its still the same. I'm not sure if I should just lower the methadone. If I can. I'm usually good till about this time where I'm at. I got some stomach aches earlier but I have been trying to keep it low. I really think maybe I should go back down to 50mgs without the adderall and just the benzos and methadone? Need benzos take them for severe anxiety disorder, and weird episodes. I haven't tried a dose without adderall and even with it I have been becoming real tired around this time. That happened at 30mgs the first few days to though. Does anyone think I shouldd go back down to 50mgs if I know it would hold me? Or think it May. I'm def done taking adderall for a few weeks. I don't like it feels like its doing to much and thats all it feels like.
