For ADHD "I'm a rare case; I currently am prescribed 180 mg of Adderall (90 mg IR & 90 mg XR). When this was raised to 240 mg, I asked to try Dexedrine, thinking that after a decade on Adderall, I had simply become tolerant to it. My doc put me on 120 mg of Dexedrine. There was a noticeable decline in my focus, and my energy levels (not that’s why you should take stimulants) fell off the map. It was smooth. But for me, it was way too smooth. I remember taking 60 mg one morning and then going for a hike. I couldn't concentrate on a damn thing, and I was nodding off as I was walking. I guess I should have expected this going from such a high amount of Adderall to a lower dose of Dexedrine (which is absent of levoamphetamine). I would try it again though."

For ADHD "My extended-release pill, 30 mg Vyvanse, only lasts for about 5 hours for me. My doctor prescribed a short-acting pill, which was Dexedrine, for doing my homework at night. Took 5 mg and felt literally nothing after waiting an hour. Then took another 5 mg (as my doctor said I might need). I did feel a lot less hyperactive, but almost to the point of sluggishness. My concentration improved the tiniest bit, but not nearly as well compared to Vyvanse. This pill seems to work better at combating ADHD symptoms, but not really ADD symptoms. I would advise trying Vyvanse."

For ADHD "I was just switched from Vyvanse 70 mg to Zenzedi (dextroamphetamine). I haven't even picked it up from the pharmacy yet but would love some input from others who know more about dextroamphetamine. I'd like to know if it works well for most people and what are some of the pros and cons in comparison to Vyvanse?"

For ADHD "When I was 12 years old, I woke up at 2 in the morning to blindingly agonizing pain, bad enough that I found myself screaming at the top of my lungs. But when I tried to get out of bed, I found my strength fail me and plummeted to the ground, hitting my head on my night table. My parents found me and brought me to the hospital. I only found out years later, when reading a list of side effects and overdose symptoms, just how harmful this drug is. The word limit doesn't allow me to even scratch the surface. I will say that it has left serious physiological scars that, decades later, have still not healed. I cannot deny that it did help me pay attention in class. But I would still advise any parent that loves their child to stay clear!"
