Chemist,

Thanks for your response. I noticed I should have stated that the dose of Dexedrine wasn't prescribed based on equivalencies between Adderall and Dexedrine and more about what would be a better fit for me. I should have been more clear with that. If you happen to read this, do you have any opinion about the long term use of amphetamines for adult add (w/o the hyper component). Sometimes I wonder if I'm causing irreparable neuronal damage and will pay for this in the long term. I try to take a lot of supplements (milk thistle, antioxidants, alpha lipoic and others) and to lead a healthy lifestyle despite taking "speed" on a daily basis.

Also, the only real concern I have with side effects from the adderall is the resting heart rate which is always high (at least 98, sometimes 115 and even escalated to 180 after being on a treadmill for 10 minutes, even though I wasn't really feeling out of breath). Should I be highly concerned about this? My blood pressure is low/normal, despite the tachyiardia symptoms?

Thanks in advance if you see this - you really make a difference to so many people on this board with your taking the time to answer so many questions - I'm sure others appreciate your generosity as well!

Thanks again, Katie
