Hi Matt,
>Dexedrine has worked well for me in the past, but lately I get so increadibly compulsive when restarting it.
This is called 'sensitisation' - a phenomenon where certain stimulant side effects get worse following repeated exposures to the drug. I think it would be best to discontinue the Dexedrine and try a different drug instead - preferably not another stimulant.
>I'm also curious if you need to be on Dexedrine for an extended period before it starts fighting off the depression.
No, I've never heard that.
Love
