Hello everyone. It seems that this thread has died a death, which is a pity. First of all thanks to all -Leonardo especially - for giving me the low-down on Dr Cosgrove and the Bristol Priority Clinic. I've just been diagnosed with the hyperactive form of ADHD and been put on Dex. Despite only taking 2.5mg twice a day at first and now 5/2.5./2.5 I'm amazed at the improvement. At the moment I do feel a definite crash when the level in my system drops, but I suppose I have to work out dosing over time.
I'd like to know what other people have found it like and how it compares to Ritalin. I am also interested to know if there's a "theory of gravity" involed - i.e. must what goes up come down. I know Paul Erdos (the Hungarian mathematician) took benzedrine for the last 25 years of his life and was the most prolific (and one of the most talented) mathematicians of last century. He stopped for a month and apparently couldn't work, so it does seem to have long term potential.
Back again soon
XYZ
