Oh-I should have looked it up before I posted, not after....

Not saying this is the "official" source regarding what's going on with dextroamp..

But it says:

"Dextrostat tablets are equivalent to Dexedrine tablets."

It doesn't say that Dextrostat tables are equivalent to Dexedrine CAPSULES.

Also:

"Dexedrine comes in two forms: tablets and Spansules®. Dexedrine Spansules are specially designed to release the medication slowly over time."

I am still saying Dextrostat the tablet works differently that Dexedrine the spanules/capsules.

Ok, so I didn't mean to turn around what you have said-the intent of your post. I guess after thinking of the situation, my point would be - for anyone unhappy with whatever version of Dexedrine they are taking, it might be worth it to try the Dextrostat.

Generic Dexedrine: An Overview
Dexedrine® (dextroamphetamine sulfate) is a prescription medication that is used for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is also used to treat narcolepsy. Dexedrine comes in two forms: tablets and Spansules®. Dexedrine Spansules are specially designed to release the medication slowly over time. Because Spansules release the medication slowly over time, they can be taken just once a day, eliminating the need to take the medication at school or work.

Dexedrine was originally manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. However, it has since come off patent and is now available as a generic. Interestingly, brand-name Dexedrine tablets are also made by another company (Shire Richwood Inc.) under a different name: Dextrostat® tablets. Dextrostat tablets are equivalent to Dexedrine tablets.

Generic Dexedrine is currently sold as Dextroamphetamine Sulfate tablets and Dextroamphetamine Sulfate Extended Release capsules.
