Hi all. Long time reader, first time posting. Am enjoying this thread. I've been reading about the differences between d-amp vs l-amp. (After struggling for decades, I recently sought treatment for what I came to believe was ADD, primarily inattentive). My doc is great. She took me seriously and suggested Vyvanese or Adderall. Insurance didn't cover Vyvanese so Adderall it was. I like the idea of using an IR tablet so I can control my dose as needed. One month later, I clearly see that a stimulant had immediate impact on my symptoms. However, there are side effects of the Adderall that I don't care for. Mainly a very achy-body feeling. It gets worse, almost like I am a wrung-out washcloth by days 3,4,5. Anecdotally, I've read others who feel the same way have switched to Dexadrine. Some report it feels "smoother". Perhaps it is the lack of the l-amp? Everyone is different, so time will tell. But it has been great to find useful information shared in a place such as this forum with no judgement. Out in the world, I'm discovering that if I am overheard discussing adult ADD, Adderall or amphetamines, I get that "you are a druggy" look from the sheeple.
