i've stated this many times before but the medication im taking has no effect at all....yesturday I started putting it under my tongue...the nuvigil tastes like rotten sour cream with spice to it, its nasty. But after about an hour...it didnt work...so what could be some suggestions about what is causing this...is it the blood not taking it to the brain? or..the brain adapting to it because it is supertolerant to all substances that I put in my body. The only way I know that works in when I inhale substances in smoke..i hate to say this but I am having to use methamphetamine to treat my severe attention and depression that seems incurable...it will usally change it for about 8 hours...wears off but still has nasty psyhological withdrawl effects within the next 24 hours after intake. Emotional instability, crying for long periods of time with no external reason, usally it exerbates my awareness of being somewhat mentally impaired and memories of being a failure. All I can say is that methamphetamine will make you think evil thoughts and live in a delusion of you can't be beaten, power...then it leaves.
But anyways let me just get back to the point, beccause if switch around on diffrent medications this could happen with other medications too. So im asking you who ever reads this...what do think? so I can at least have some knowedge to tell my doctor to get referred to other doctors to see what is causing this.
1) Take medication...thinking it will take effect soon.
2) Nothing changes at all, and I stay in the depths of depression, and have to resort to methamphetamine use.please tell me facts only what you think is causing this. Therories in paticular, I will be vary grateful for your imput.

Well, you could be right, and the medications are not being absorbed...although I would think you would be having other physical symptoms if this was the case. If this was the case don't you think if you're body was screwed up that you would be having other physical symptoms besides feeling like the meds weren't working? Sounds like the meds just aren't targeting your symptoms. Seems like you need a new psychiatrist for a second opinion...

you should try to find a med that brings you total relief or 80-90% of your symptoms
i took seroquel in 2004 and i got relief but after 2 months it stopped working

well do i have to fel like sh*t these 2 more years until a possible treatment comes out ? :S

I think you just want the meth. Its doing what the others cant. This is because you can't get the adderals. Don't think you will find happyness in any other drug than an amphetamine. Either accept life with out amp's or do what you must.

I think i've heard this long enough, people here have ... told me this over and over again and I am sick of it. I stated in many of my posts that people don't listen or read my posts and have no idea what the real circumstances are. In effect of no knowedge they will say I am looking for adderall....of course, its time to wake up...stop coming up to me and saying the same thing over. I am dreadfully sick and tired of hearing this same stateemnt. What the question should be ... is why am I using a medication...or substiduting when that is not the root problem in the first place. I feel no guilt at all, because I know there's people here who have open ways to get prescibed what they want and of course right now in this current time I don't have this availaiblity, and then they start asking me about my substance abuse problem...and have negative commments of condemnation. I swear their is one poster I absolutly hate...sits and talks about how she was addicted to painkillers and then uses my situation as an example to other in posts and makes derogatory comments... self rightous low life..live in false light until the day they die...will I hope they will relize the turth? that's up them....take both the the blue and red pill for the awareness of being right and wrong...

I'm not thinking badly of you. I just remember what it was like when I smoked crack for a couple of days and what it was like coming off it. That was all I wanted. And I only had a mild addiction to it. I can just imagine what it would be like to be put on amphetamines when young and have to take them for many years, what it would be like to try and quit.
I do read all your posts. I just don't know what to tell you. I think you might be addicted. And I know you don't want to hear that. Belive me I have my vices too, alcohol, tobaco. I know how hard it is to quit and try to funtion.
The thing is you keep posting the same thing. And want an answer, but there isn't one, for addiction.
What do you want out of life? A drug? A job? To not be addicted, not have been put on amphs? To be able to function with out drugs? Tell me what are you hoping to acomplish?
I hope I have not affended you, that is not my intention. I would like to help you if I could.

It's just everywhere I go...NA meetings...twelve step programs...they tell me I tell them the same thing, and keep saying the problem is addiction. It's like that's the only problem they are willing to address, all the others like anxiety, depression, personality disorders they will use the same thing to address these issues using addiction advice. It's really annoying to hear the same thing over again, when I can't function well currently and ... I gotta say I was diangosed with something called Disorganized Schizphenia in march for DARS and they told me this is a difficult one to treat because all the througt patterns are disrganized, and make no sense and I do realize I have those symptoms and that's why I avoid people so they won't see it...even doctors kinda catagorize this as an "idiot case" doing things that just make no sense. But I am already on Zyprexa 20mgs and it does not all help disorganized thought patterns. Methamphetamine will charge me up and give me power over my thoughts but still they are disrgaized even if they are stimulated heavily.
I don't know, I'm not happy. But thank you for your consideration.

I know what its like to not get the right meds. Luckily they put me on zyprexa pretty quick! And that med changed my life. Do you still think amphs would still help or do you need something else? You should probably let SARS help you. I think that would be your best bet.
