Any experiences on how this would influence someone with addictive tendencies and a former coke habit? I've been looking at this for quite a few years already, but have always been wary of taking the plunge. The usage pattern would be: perform when I have to for 1-3 days per week, do nothing the rest of the time. On such an intermittent schedule, would the temptation to escalate dosage and frequency be significant?
i am not a doctor, but i would advise you to do some research into "straterra" aka atomoxetine
no abuse potential
works for focus as it stimulates norepinephrine aka norad; it is an NRI agent
norad is responsible for VIGILANT CONCENTRATION
you shouldn't take atomoxetine 1-3 days out of the week; all or nothing; 7 days a week
if it works, use it forever
modafinil has a low abuse potential (so the science guyz say)
i would stay away from stims like addy and vyvanse if i was you, but fuck it, give it a go and see how it works... sometimes atomoxetine doesn't work for people
speak with 1-3 psychiatrists and see what they say
if you have a history of substance abuse issues, you may have neurological issues which have caused said behavior to abuse street drugs in an effort to self medicate
most drug abusers have mental health issues that need to be resolved; once resolved, drugs are not an issue, except the ones you take from da doctor, which are great and don't fuck you up, unless you have shit doctor and shit drugs that don't work for you...
then everyone blames SSRI's on your mass murder spree and buys fish oil for their kids ADHD
