Thank you!

I took 75% of the dose this morning, not because of dryness but because last night I was hypomanic, a known side effect of amphetamine. I noticed much less dryness this evening, so this side effect appears to be dose-dependent.

I have to go back to the full dose tomorrow because 75% did not give me enough alertness in the morning and early afternoon and I will be driving a lot tomorrow morning and afternoon so I must be alert. And then my psychiatrist has sent the same prescription but ER to the pharmacy so I will pick it up and we will see what the ER version does in terms of dryness. Yes, this thing can drive you nuts.
