Here is my current cocktail: Caffeine 400mg (200 when I wake up then another 200 when I go to the gym 30 minutes later), Modafinil 150, Bupropian XL 150. I used to take adderall but it made me crazy for lack of a better word. Looking to add a stimulant for focus. Suggestions? Currently deciding between Ritalin and Vyvanse. Also, I know I’m a stim junkie I was taking adderall for 20 years so my tolerance is pretty high. Please keep it positive and helpful thanks

Also, Trazadone 50 for sleep.

Why do you feel you need another stimulant on top of that? It sounds like you already have sleep issues if you take trazodone at night, and adding a stimulant will make that worse.

Modafinil better than adderall? Adderall make me crazy too but wanting something better/more mild but still allows me to get shit done
