> If Dexedrine makes you feel euphoric then you shouldn't take it. I know that sounds really non-intuitive but it is true. Dexedrine is made for ADD and if you truely have ADD it only focuses your attention but doesn't change your mood. Dexedrine can make depression worse in the long run and is easy to get addicted to. When the stimulant is in your brain it increases dopamine and seritonin which feels good, but over time your brain will develop less of these chemicals and you have to increase your dose or get depressed... you see where this is going? I understand though. I have depression and I wouldn't pass up Dexedrine anyday or night for that matter. It feels great. But the very fact that it is that attractive, and the feeling that I want to take more and more, allows me to realize it isn't the best solution for the long run.
you don't mention what you do take?
