Well just a quick question, i've really been having a problem with the perception that i see life. I see "social withdrawl", but if i'm forced into a conversation or social, i'll talk. But i'm really just feel discusted with the way i feel.
Prozac causes some stablization. I feel this dyphoria (unpleasant, unstable, miserable) feeling usally at some point another during the day. Dexedrine always has a "drop off" when its wearing off. I know it, i know i've been on amphtatamines to help with Cognition. But i'm telling you, i am miserable, when it wears off.
I take something to sooth the nerve. I've done Hypnosis, and the way to change thinking. But i know that i do have a mood/personality fluctuation.
I rotate personalites (perona's) to look at life in someway diffrent, but in turn, it doesnt work.
I was on Ablify, Zyprexa, right now i feel so bad.....i want to just knock myself out. I lay in the bed. And you know posts are suppost to have a point to them, this really doensnt.
Ughhh.......sorry guys. I dont know how end.
gotta tell someone how "pits" i feel

Hang in there.
I too take dexedrine, and yeah, the mood drop off is a biatch. I do like when I'm on it though!
I too feel like crap. I'm currently withdrawing from 2mg klon per day down to 1 mg klon per day, and 30 mg dexedrine per day down to 15 mg dex per day. Also, I'm slowly titrating up on Nardil.
I cannot tell which med is making me feel worse. But, I know that by the end of the month, I will feel better.
THINK POSITIVE!

You could modify when you take Dexedrine to avoid the drop off. Instead of taking 2 of the 15mg spansules in the morning, perhaps take 1 at breakfast and 1 at lunch. This might alleviate the crash you feel at the end of the day.

I know exactly what you mean when you say you change "personas" to change how you look at life. I get these "phrases" that go through my mind to kind of direct the way I act. Such examples are: "be confident", "walk erect", "relax", "be cocky", "be nice", "listen", etc. etc. It feels as if I'm an actor, and these are my different cues for different personalities. It's weird, but with some klonopin and nardil, they've gone almost all away. Now I have my ADHD and irritability to deal with ;(

I pray to the Father, to change my whole mind. I believe in his power, he heals in time. But i'm telling you, faith and belief in him will cause a change for better.
Right now, Xanax is taken during Dexedrine peak period's for a "calm-concentrated synergy". Usally 1mg. And after "the horrid fall off", i get so "irrtible" i cant think straight. I take 2mg, and Magnesium and it does an ok job.
When you have to go through a daily routine of knowing your going to have a "drop off" at about 5pm, you gotta get used it.
Thanks man. What i did find out.....the hard way: do not drink alcohol to "smooth" things down on amphetamines, or after, it will make you sweat, flush, heart beat faster, and you wont know what mood your in, but i learned, i hated that one experinece. - just some advice from rj
Thank again..

hey I feel you, Im very socially withdrawn as well is withdrawn from everything. But if you put me in a social situation I dont do that bad at all, I just cant find the motovation to keep putting myself in stressful situations. Ive been on things where u go up then downnnnn you go. it sucks. Are these personas mindsets? If so that happens to me alot.
