Thanks for the reply. I completely understand you.

You probably did not take it long enough or high in dosing to cause this problem.

But use of amphetamines is considered risky for most people anyway.

The best thing you can do right now is go on Omega-3 fish oil or Krill. We found that the most powerful supplement for our son who has ADHD.

There have been many studies over the years (some from Purdue and Dr. Stephens) that show ADHD kids have very low Omega-3's.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm actually returning to Methylphenidate right now, not to Adderall. Methylphenidate is much easier on the brain, since Adderall is potentially neurotoxic, and also Methylphenidate has a milder action, so it's safer for long term use than Adderall.

I'm actually not sure if Omega 3 helped me or not. I took 1g EPA and 500mg DHA every day, and I'm not sure it helped. This might be because I don't sleep well, so I'm not sure. I'm planning to try this again in my future stack, but it'd be 1g DHA and 500mg EPA instead.
