I found that D-amphetamine works MUCH better – there is a difference in that Adderal has the boht L and D isomers of amphetamine. The L isomer is a NE and DA releaser while the D isomer is selective for just dopamine. There is much less anxious feeling on the D isomer for me. methamphetamine (Desoxyn)is the L isomer that hits both NE and DA.How much amphetamine do you take?

Also would like to know what doses of D-amphedamine folks with ADD are taking. For me it seems that too low of a dose makes me feel worse instead of better.
