I liked dexedrine. Maybe it's those "other" amphetamines in adderall which make it tempermental. My fantasy is that the doctor will agree to prescribe dexedrine again. I'll take some of that effervesence about now and deal with it... Alas, he's very conservative, in that he doesn't like to jump around with meds. It doesn't help that I already brought up how well I did with low dose of it in the past, and ended up feeling like a drug-shopper. And wasn't successful, either.
> Reactionws to medication seem to be very personal. Both Rital and Focalin made me nasty, But Focalin XR is a treat. Adderall made me jittery, yet dexedrine felt smooth. Dexedrine was probably the cleanest feeling stimulant but it did impair sleep and I was always afraid I was mistaking effervescence foir positive impact. And by jingo did it make me chatty.

My mood dumps seem to have no correlation to dosing, so unless they are due to a long protacted, even lasting-through-the-night "crash", they are likely due to my depression itself. I didn't notice any classic "crash" with ritalin, nor with a lower dose of adderall, so maybe that's not the explanation. Actually, my doctor believes in checking out a med thoroughly and does not like to move around. So the choice is almost made for me. I can see the logic, I guess. If one jumps around too much, it's always chaos and hard to tell what caused what.
