Good luck with the dexedrine. Suck it and see is my motto. I lived in Auckland for a while as kid, ended up in london, now New York. I don't really know what I am anymore, but I'm a textbook case of adult adhd combined type.
dexedrine side effects/irritations
1. erratic effectiveness cf ritalin. vitamin C, fruit juice, acids, fatty food all appear to reduce effectiveness off dexedrine inconsistently.
2. some generics have erratic absorption. the brand dexedrine spansules are more consistent
3. dexedrine can cause insomnia more than ritalin
4. excessiev talkiness
5. in < 2% of people increase in blood pressure.
6. It's an "abusable drug" so has more/different stigma than ritalin
7. pre-employment drug screens can blip if you change jobs
8. foreign travel with a narcotic requires forethought.
9. tolerance seem sto be much bigger problem than with ritalin/focalin
10. risk of mistaking euphoric effect for symptom removal.
11. can impair sport performanceAll told its smoother, and clearer sharper than Concerta Metadate CD with less of a wear-off moodieness that Ritalin IR has. Tell us how it works out.
