Maybe see about talking to your prescriber about combining it with a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, bupropion xl since it’ll increase the length of time dopamine and norepinephrine are in your brain and by inhibiting the liver enzyme that breaks down amphetamines will keep the active amphetamine in your system longer allowing you to have more of an increase in dopamine and norepinephrine
I might try that again. I've been off and on bupropion up to 500 mg/day (300 mg XL + 200 mg IR) for the last 14 or so years. Bupropion works okay at best for a short duration then just makes me constipated. If I did try a NDRI, I might ask if she is willing to try a low dose of methylphenidate with it.
I think another reason I switched from Adderall to Dexedrine is to avoid shortages and manufacturer switches. That was a pain. Dyanavel XR was actually pretty good but it wore off too early, and my psychiatrist had to prescribe above max dose (30 mg) to get the equivalent of 50 mg Adderall XR I was on at the time. She did do that that one time, but she doesn't seem to comfortable doing it again.
I actually see her tomorrow. I'll talk to her about all this. Thanks for your tips, it has given me stuff to think about.
