> Does dexadrine cause anxiety say as a cup of coffee or ephedrine.

For me, no. I find Dex much easier to handle than coffee. It also doesn't play havoc with my blood sugar-- a plus.

>Does dexadrine cause one to be more outgoing, talkative and semi euphoric

I only wish. As a stabilized bipolar II, I miss my euphoria!
I remember clearly my first dose of Dex, in late 1997--it felt as if oil poured on troubled waters, in my brain. Calming and organizing all at once. Sure, if I take extra (15mg instead of 10) I'll be up later--but far less so than a second cup of coffee. And the other thing about pstims--they are not magic. The days come and go and life is always changing. What meds do, ideally--what we should be aiming for--is lifting the lows, lowering the highs---in a good way, not blunting!-- finding a baseline, a solid foundation of well-being upon which our lives can take place. Ideally, our resilience is increased -- dramatically, and that may be a fruitful way to think the "cure" from depression. Resilence--when we find ourselves bouncing back from any lows, any setbacks. When we have flexibility of mood and outlook, and feel just naturally equipped to cope.
