I think there's less money behind dexedrine, and its been around so long its picked up the stigma of being an amphetamine. Adderall is at least as addictive--back when it was Obetrol, Andy Warhol and a bunch of the other Factory kids were all over it. Considering all that they had access to, if they were clamoring for the Obetrol (Adderall), **clearly** its both effective and pleasant.
Plus...no one puts out Dexedrine ads w/ all-american kids and Ty Pennington on them like they do for Adderall. Maybe this new dexedrine that's less abusable will have some fresh-faced, studious youngsters and a blandly appealing b-list celebrity on them. That, apparently, is enough for an amphetamine diet pill (Obetrol) to make a comeback as a kid-tested, mother-approved remedy for all sorts of psychiatric ills.
