For Adderall XR there is no generic. I don't know about regular Adderall. Yes, Adderall will lessen your appetite but that usually goes away after a while. You said you didn't want to lose weight so you will just have to force yourself to eat. :-)
Ambien isn't available in Canada. It was, but then they took it off the shelves. I used it when I was is the U.S. and it stopped working after 3 nights. If the Dexedrine is making it hard for you to sleep then you should take a lesser dose. If you take the Adderall XR it lasts for 12 hours (more or less). Just make sure you don't take it too late.
You said you found the dexedrine didn't work fast enough? Take it on an empty stomach and it will work faster.
Good luck to you!

> I am supposed to meet with my M.D. next week and discuss switching from Dexedrine to adderall. i tried Ritalin, but that made em have too many mood swings. Dexedrine has been starting to take my appetite. Does Adderall do the same? Whats the Generic for that? I took the generic for Dexedrine-Dextroamphetamine.
> Oh by the way, are you familiar with Ambien? I take it for sleep and really need it after taking the Dexedrine.
