I was on diffrent stimulants for almost 10 years, concerta, Adderall, Dexedrine, Dexedrine was the best but it didnt last very long at all, only 3 hours, so long days where called for frequenet redosing, and i felt washed out after it. I had to take off some days.
Stimulants will increase your intrest in things, talking, doing something that really intrests like looking at things online, and anything your brain has intrest in. It will increase that effect.
I stopped because of constant re-dose and some other things, i did have some abuse stimuants the last 2 years i was on it. But the reason was because its short half life. Too much energy, i rerember the bad things of which stimulants did to me.
But right now im always constantly losing my keys, STUDDERING sometimes because i dont know how to say things. When i was on stimulants, adderall, or Dexerine mainly i knew how exactly to do things, how do speeches, projects and everything, i had more friends because my "mind" was together. I knew what i was doing. The past 2 years have been absolute horridness to mind! im constantly in recent:
1)lost my keys for periods, which i would go hypomaina.
Including my phone, i've lost 2 phones. Mainly because of lack of thinking.
Forgetting where i parket my car. Forgetting People's names and look like an idiot.... like hey Frank! oh sorry i mean Ryan, Kevin?its Daniel! "opps sorry"
One of my saying i say much too much is: oh danmit! not again!
I have gone 2 year of going in circles and not know where im going, i've got on Strattera, Wellbutrin, i cant take them with Prozac (which is my life saver from depression really).
But Zyprexa will counter act (depending on what dose, but anything above 10mg your not going to feel much stimulant - from a stimulant such as Adderall) It will be like you didnt take it.
It will get you to sleep if your having bad times with insomnia (both manic, and from stiumlants) But the next day you wont that great...trust me! ;) Days when you feel exhausted from stimualnts. Its terrible! cant focus]]time will go by so slowly during the day especially when your at work]] oh its awful.
But at the same its was my best help for me, but the side effects caused for me, (now that is not everyone, some people can tolerate it) I tolerated it for 8 years then it was the last 2 years that really got not for me.
I wish you luck. Please pray for me....too
ok?
