I never got any hypomania from dexedrine, Adderall, or methylphenidate. They all tended to make my personality kind of quiet and cold (which I don't like and partly why I am not on a stimulant now). Amps had a *slight* mood elevating effect, but mph had a complete zero effect on mood (if anything I felt slightly depressed at higher doses). SSRI's are what kick in the hypomania if I don't watch it.
