MDJunction to me

I wanted that sense of being a normal person.Finding MDJ and the people with in it has steered me down the correct path into the light of hope. The feeling of hope that i was not alone,the feeling of hope of understanding,and the feeling of hope to move on. I never give up hope." (1magicman)

I may be starting this in the next two weeks and I'm extremely nervous.

This year has been horrible with new meds. So far Lamictal - fail. Lithium - fail. Geoden/Zeldox - I say fail but it's still in the mix.

Adderall is not legal in Australia. Ritalin is, however my doc has only mentioned Dexamphetamine thus far. I'm having the work up done for it this week.

Being Bipolar 2, my concern is how this will interact with my other meds.

My major fear is how this will affect my anxiety.

I'm praying with everything I have that this puts me a step closer to being on the right med combo!

Good luck to you with the new med. Dexamphetamine is the chemical name for Ritalin.

I take Adderall and it's been a life saver. A lot of other people have great success with Ritalin.

Keep posting and let us know how it's going.

Ritalin is working good for me. I tried vyvance and methyline with not luck. I hope you have good luck with the dexamphedamine.
