Oh and when my Psych added the "booster" he wrote a script for Zenzedi - basically a 100% d-amp from Arbor... Wonder if he is looking to win some golf clubs or something....
Yes.. My fear is this is just a patent grab by Arbor . It is exactly the same formulation as benzedrine - 50/50 l-amp and d-amp.. It's weird but, contrary to what I would have thought - the Evekeo feels a bit smoother. I would have thought with the peripheral stim of the l-amp it would not be that way. However, I notice I'm a bit more "down" than I was.. Not sure if it is related or not...
I haven't heard of Evekeo either. I see that it's just a different formularization of the same drugs that are in Adderall. I did the math and (milligram for milligram) it would cost an uninsured person 21.6 times more than Adderall. Congratulations to Arbor Pharmaceuticals for getting this patent.
Good to know about the evekeo
Yeah, I've always had fast metabolism... So far the evekeo seems ok other than i've noticed a pressure in my ears - not sure if it is related or not!
I think it would be worth doing. It may be that he was worried about doing 70mgs, but thats not real unusual. And some people have a faster metabolism and burn through meds faster anyway.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, not sure why he has chosen the "booster" vs a larger vyvanse dose. I guess I should ask him at the next appt.
Thanks for the questions. I read up on Evekeo. Interesting medication and probably a good idea has it provides a bit more flexability. I am not exactly sure that V is exactly the same as the D-amp, since adderall is 2 different types of D-amps.
I have to commend your doc for trying the Evekeo. Many docs probably don't even know it exists. My only question is why didn't he first try increasing your V to 70mgs? That should have added about 2 more hours to the duration and would be smoother. The short acting dextro you first tried always has a higher hit.
gotta read up on Evekeo - not familiar with it. Usually there are no withdrawal symptoms with stim meds (if you have adhd/add). Only thing you should notice is duration should be shorter.
Try a high protein breakfast in the morning (protein drink is easy way) and see if that helps.
Duration of meds is a pretty good sign of under/over dosing. V should last about 10 hours.
