ROTFL! Oh snap! I had to respond to this one!
If I take Dexedrine (Dextroamphetamine), I become the nicest, most zen-like person. All philosophical and tolerant of everyone.
If I take regular Adderall, I get all the motivation that I need each day, but I also become a homicidal maniac (internally). I am a raving beeatch on it.
Now since the two are closely related (Adderall contains Dexedrine as well as three other amphetamine salts), my doctor does not believe that I have such a different reaction to each.
Oh, and I can take 400mg of Modafinil, and feel like I took nothing.
But give me serotonin drugs, and look out. I just want to jump off a bridge. Sheesh! Complicated stuff eh?
