In reply to ADHD diagnosis and urine check?!, posted by Ted Brosnan on November 5, 2004, at 16:51:37
> Hello. Looks that the best thing to take for my assumed ADHD and severe social phobia would be d-amphetamine. I am sure that if I get the diagnosis I would be put first at ritalin (which would worsen the SP) and then I might switch to d-amphetamine. But I wonder if a urine test would be taken just to exclude drug use?!

Today I took nortriptyline and SUPRISINGLY it was not so sedative and caused no urine retention (I took 50mg- enough for ADHD?). Tomorrow I am considering taking it and in addition 10 mg selegiline. I think that might help for this period, I have exams soon.

Nortriptyline worked faster for me, and at lower dosages, for ADD than for depression. Also, notably, it worked almost immediately for panic attacks.
I would definitely notify your pdoc about the fact that you're thinking of taking nortriptyline along with 10 mg/selegeline. There is a small risk of serotonin syndrome with the combination.
