Hello all,

I could really use some help here. Ive been taking 30-40 mg of Dex everyday and on the really bad days even 45mg.

I find that it messes my up too bad and I dont like it at all.

I have been taking it for 6 months now and was wondering if anyone can help me with advice to stopping the drug.

Is it just a case of stopping?? Weening off??

I need to function in the real world so I don't want to be too exhausted.

Please help!

anyone?

Talk to your Doctor, stopping cold turkey will most likely leave you irritable and depressed. You should start by lowing your dose gradually. Did it not work for you? It works great for me, but I only need it during school or studying, and only 5mgs.

Neurofeedback is the only treatment that gets people off simulant medication for good. The scientific literature on neurofeedback for ADD/ADHD and a dozen other problems is compelling. It is actually good for everybody as peak performance training.

Watching your brain waves and learning to control your own neural output, heals how you organize mental processes. It teaches you how to stop using lazy waves and instead use higher energy brain effort where appropriate. You can’t learn this without seeing what you are doing.

It is totally safe yet under-recognized. There are miracles every day in 3000 neurofeedback practices in the U.S. You can buy a do-it-yourself EEG machine too.
See for yourself: put any of these terms in a search engine: QEEG, neurofeedback, "EEG biofeedback" “peak performance” and anything else of interest. You will find convincing proof that neurofeedback is effective and for real.
