> I too had a similar problem with the XR version of adderall, and have since switched to the immediate release version. (Which FYI is also generic and much much, MUCH cheaper!) I was taking XR 25mg, and crashing early afternoon; I now take 10mg 3x daily and get full coverage through the day.

Matt, I've heard that dexedrine causes less social anxiety mostly as anecdotal from this site. The levo-amphetamine in Adderall is supposed to be the cause of the anxiety due to it's pro peripheral nervous system stimulation as opposed to dextro-amphetamine in dexedrine which works more so on the CNS.

Adderall supposedly causes more anger, irritability, and fast heartrate issues as well.

It's really a matter of preference. Supposedly dexedrine spansules create more of a drop off than Adderall XR, so some people find Adderall smoother in that regard.

It's worth a try to experiment anyways. There's been some rumours that Dexedrine is actually a better drug but Adderall has been marketed better and has better options in terms of pill sizes (5,10, 20, 30).
