When you stop taking adder all your natural dopamine levels will be zero. Use to happen to me all the time. Take mucuna. Helps a little I think

It was while the drug was active...I felt 100% better when it fully wore off tho

So if you don't have ADD and try one of those...do you get super focused and concentrated??

supposedly you get stimmed out of your head
I can't speak for anyone elses experience.

I'm not sure I buy the whole...if you have add you get more focused, but if you don't it will eff you up line of thinking and its just a heavy stim.

when I first started ritalin I was very comfortably focused and was thrilled I seemed to see ..idk what, something I was greatly lacking, then very quickly got steadily more disjointed and unable to do really anything...upping the dose worked until it didn't. Then I switched to adderall which was a disaster right off the bat. I'm not even sure why I took it again.

I tried switching back to ritalin and it never really worked for me ever again for more than an hr.
an hr of focus seemed like a shitty trade off.

Yeah..that's not a great trade off at all. I just see the docs at work forever changing meds for kids. Just like you said...works for awhile and then doesn't. A few seem to luck out and stay on the same one for years but that seems rare.
