For ADHD "I had been on brand-name Dexedrine tablets for over 10 years when I lived in Canada. It is reliable and predictable, and I always noticed the effect soon after. Upon coming to the U.S., I have been prescribed Zenzedi, and it just isn't the same. It seems like it takes about an hour longer to notice, and it feels less energizing than real Dexedrine. To compensate for the lack of effect, I have increased the dosage, which seems to affect me at different times in different ways. It's tough to figure out, I am just seeking consistency. Another thing that stands out is that the tablets feel like they are cheaply made. It's tough to split them apart because they're too compact, yet they immediately start dissolving in the mouth unlike regular tablets. Very different, and IMO, less effective than the OG Dexedrine."

For ADHD "This stuff makes you feel like the king of the world! Unfortunately, that euphoria after 5 hours turns to dysphoria, and the crying starts. Horrible thoughts that I'm a failure, and no way to calm down. There should be an extended version of this drug because that 5-hour comedown is horrible."

For ADHD "I would rather not take any medicine at all than take this med. It made me feel awful. Achy all over, headache, blurred vision, no energy. Numbness in hands and feet. I wouldn't recommend it. It didn't help me focus or stay awake. In fact, I just wanted to lay down, it made my head hurt so bad."

For ADHD "For ADHD, a timer really helps. 10 minutes applied efforts towards study, 3 minutes of something entirely different. In education, classes change on the hour, and so should the subject material. Math problems (starting simple), then maybe Art, Crossword, Architecture, Photography. Music: playing an instrument or editing. Memorizing a new phrase in Mandarin or German. This enables different parts of the brain to integrate."

For ADHD "This medication is great. I take 40 mg chewable Vyvanse and was prescribed this as a booster dose. I started on Zenzedi 5 mg twice a day and now am up to Zenzedi 5 mg 4 times a day. It takes care of the hindering ADHD symptoms that aren't treated by the Vyvanse and it allows me to focus on tasks without being overwhelmed or getting distracted. Since starting Zenzedi, I have become more organized, more motivated, and don't have the negative side effects that occurred on Adderall. It is very similar to Adderall but feels smoother with less come down. I would recommend trying Zenzedi because it's hardly noticeable when taken but over time it makes a big difference in quality of life if suffering from ADHD. I have tried generic Zenzedi but it had tons of side effects. Luckily, my insurance covers it at an $8 copay, but the best part is even if insurance doesn't cover it, it is a very affordable drug. In the past, I have gotten qty 60 5 mg tablets with a coupon costing me only $38."

For ADHD "Terrific medication, and it is the best ADHD med by a marginal amount, compared to Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta. Smooth effects, no anxiety or come down."

For ADHD "This medication via instant release gave me auditory hallucinations and psychosis. I now take extended-release Dexedrine Spansules, and my life and well-being have immediately improved."

For ADHD "I hadn't concentrated in 2 years. Zenzedi stopped that. I went through the runaround with popular pharmacies, which 75% prescribe Aurabindo or Teva, and cannot get Zenzedi. I found it at a grocery chain after some calling. The other pharmacies won't sell it because it costs more. I take 15 mg three times; now I can think, and no side effects. This is longer acting than I thought; you just can't up the dosage and get better effects, it has to be gradual. And you're not craving to increase it after some time like most people think. There's no reason to change it, and it wasn't much more than the fake ones either. After some searching, a grocery chain had it for just a bit over the fake generics. It worked, twice as effective. Now I can wake up to a normal day. It is the only or one of a few that are real and authentic. There's no going back; Mallinckrodt is the only generic manufacturer that tries to get it right if I couldn't get Zenzedi."
