I was writing in another topic about bupropion and also described my recent new success with dextroamphetamine IR that I wanted to share.
I know were all different but if you haven't tried this route yet, feel free to do so and let me know how it works.
Copied and pasted from my other thread:
Well after 1 week of taking WB XL in the evening, I took it late afternoon yesterday, too see if there would be a difference. As it turned out, I did get more tired again as the hours passed by.
Amidst all the bad news regarding bupropion, I at least have found a dosing schedule for dextroamphetamine that works better than before;
30mg at one sitting, twice a day. I, like many on dex, been tweaking my dosing schedule ever since I started. I used to try to extend time in between and take as little as possible for a positive effect. This would eventually lead to getting it "half right", meaning I would maybe experience some of the stimulatory benefits but they were very short lived on 5mg to 20mg dosages, 3 to 6 times a day, and my mood would see saw for the whole day. Now, at 30mg, I can take the meds, get a decent 6 or so hours out of that dose, maybe be in a stupor for an hour or so (find something to do like take a walk, lunch, gym, etc), then redose another 30mg, and that would last another 6 hours. As I generally feel better at night time anyway, this seems to work for me, and I don't necessarily end staying up too late for my own good.
i'm still unsure about the bupropion XL though. I think I'll try going for a higher dose on the SR version (XL gets too costly when I have to pay for Dex too).
Maybe this is no new news, but given the amount of topics on the Interwebz about proper dosing, this might help.
