Hi, unsure what to do now. I was diagnosed ADHD at a young age but I am actully thinking it could be Aspergers syndrome due to my difficulties socialising and my obsessive tendencies.
I suffer really badly from depression, I am treating it with dexamphetamines, I am gradually getting more and more tolerent to them and am going to have to take another drug holiday, something that scares me, alot.
Anyway, blah blah blah I could go on for pages I'm sure so

Hi :)

Hey there, what part of Australia are you from? I'm from the Wicked West!

About the Dex, don't cut them off completely, lower them by one a day, if you can. I, too, suffer from depression and I stopped taking the Dex abruptly and it was awful. Stop lowering at one or two a day, maybe go a day without any here and there, no longer, until you get used to it.
Please believe me on this, I've done it.

I hope you find WP helpful.
