I'm taking Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) 70mg once daily. It's advertised to last for 12 hours, it lasts more like 2 hours after it kicks in, which is after about 1 hours. So in total I'm getting 3 hours of focus and energy out of this stuff. The come down is lame, but I have Lorazepam and Clonazepam as well as Methadone to soften the blow.
I used to take Dexedrine, and I know that Vyvanse is Dexedrine mixed with Lysine. I could switch to Dexedrine, I haven't tried it in years. Or I could try Adderall again, which I haven't tried for years.
I didn't enjoy Adderall years ago. I found it was much more harsh than Dexedrine for some reason. I'm guessing the Levo-Amphetamine has something to do with that.
Another option is Methylphenidate. I don't really enjoy the way it makes me feel. I find it's not as pleasant to be on, and I feel more agitated than when I'm on Amphetamines.
What should I do? Switch back to Dexedrine? The problem is, my insurance only covers 5mg instant release tablets. I will have to pop at least 3-4 of them, twice a day I would think? Maybe even like 6 a day, to get a full days worth of attention span and less fatigue.
I take them for a legitimate reason, I have a genetic immunodeficiency syndrome. It's basically like AIDS, and is always fatal by about 30. I'm 26 now, and get infections nonstop. I've gotten pneumonia 8 times since last march and had to be hospitalized every time because I could not fight it off with what a family doctor would give me. It always takes 2-3 broad spectrum antibiotics of different classes to get rid of. Last time I tried Moxifloxacin on it's own and it failed, the pneumonia increased in size. I ended up having to be on Ceftriaxone IV, Azithromycin IV and Moxifloxacin orally for more than 10 days in the hospital and then had to take 5 days of Cefuroxime Axetil. That was 3 weeks ago, and I'm coughing up blood again and have a raging fever and will be back in the hospital soon, guaranteed.
I need something that is going to keep me awake. Without Lisdexamfetamine I can only stay awake for about 3-4 hours due to the profound exhaustion I feel, and with it I can stay awake about 8 hours total in a day. I still sleep like a rock. I've been on the Methadone and Benzos for 5+ years, I'm totally tolerant to them and the doses haven't increased for 2 years so I'm not sedated because of the narcotics.
Would baking soda help at all? I know it supposedly helps for Dexedrine but with the added Lysine, I doubt it would make a difference. What do you think?

So i will travel and see this new immunologist and i guess I will discusss the bone marrow transplant with him. The doctors in my city don't know much about this. They specialize in other things, there are few immunologists here, and in my city, we dont even have a lab that can do the proper tests, they need to be sent to a larger city to be examined. If you have an HIV test they send it 7 hours away. It's ridiculous.
