In reply to equivalent doses of adderall and dexedrine, posted by brender on August 22, 2003, at 14:12:41
Adderall, Dexedrine and Desoxyn are all equivalent regarding dose, for the majority of people. That is Adderall 10mg = Dexedrine 10mg = Desoxyn 10mg.
Oh, and Adderall isn't a combination of amphetamine and Ritalin. It's a combination of four amphetamine salts -- dextro-amphetamine sulfate, dextro-amphetamine saccharate, levo-amphetamine sulfate and racemic amphetamine aspartate -- in equal amounts. So in 10mg Adderall, for example, there is 2.5mg of each of these. Also, Ritalin isn't an amphetamine -- it's in the same chemical class as amphetamines, the phenethylamines, but so are Nardil, Parnate, Wellbutrin, and Effexor.
