Flooding your brain with dopamine from Adderall and being unable to break it down essentially means you are bathing in dopamine but cannot get it out of your system. It builds and builds until, in my case, a dystonic reaction occurs.

Did your doctor allow you to take these together? Are you going to go back to nardil now that you know that the combo was causing the problems?
