I would have replied sooner. Wasn’t keeping tabs on this website. After a couple of days didn’t think I would get a reply.

I was taking the Dexedrine capsule. Seen my doctor, but he discouraged me. I suffer from insomnia, and he feels experimenting with these drugs could make things worse. He didn’t give me an outright no, and at the same time I didn’t push it.

It is interesting to note that most people who have ADHD also have insomnia. It seems that one goes in hand with the other. I don’t have a problem with run away thoughts, I am usually quite calm, just can’t sleep, but if I go too many days without sleep I go bonkers. I take seroquel for 5 nights, and on the 6th night I take a break, I don’t take anything, of course I don’t get any sleep that night. If I don’t do this the seroquel seems to lose its effect.

I would very much like to take something. Dexedrine was a good experience, felt really good. Any advice, opinions or ideas would be much appreciated, especially on how to approach my doctor on this matter.
