i have the worst case of adhd .. i have had it for ever... god bless meds or i'd never got my degree

add (not adhd) all my life and getting worse. I have used all the stimulants and can now take 60mg (2 30's) of adderall xr and go to sleep.

Recently I started taking Nuvigil (tried provil but did not work). It is for narcolepsy and shift work sleep disorder (had to get my doc to use the shift work for insurance). It is very different. I am much more attentive. There are no stimulant side effects for me. When needed I add an additional Adderall XR.

BTW most of these drugs have co-pay assistance or straight out free programs for those with low income or no insurance. I used them like clockwork when getting a graduate degree.

Interesting. I will look into that since I do have ADD and I work grave-shift, 6pm - 6am

Cost is an issue for me so I use IR Adderall ir IR Dexedrine to study....right not I'm using 40mg of Strattera but only 2 hours prior to sleep cause it make you super sleepy, yet help smooth out the adderall at the end of the day.

Oh yeah, just a few Nuvigil's from my friend, they rock!! and yes MUCH better than Provigil......price like gold ounce for ounce.....

FYI, I tried straterra many years ago. For some reason it made me very emotional. I am not an emotional guy and let me tell you, I felt like balling watching chick flicks with my GF. Needless to say I quit that and went back to adderall.

scary....

Same here. Effexor is the only reason I'm successful in school right now.
