PSYCHIATRIST DOESN'T LIKE DEXEDRINE - DiscoPuppy

I can't understand this. Did your doctor give a reason? I've taken Dex, Adderall and Methylphenidate, and I think Dexedrine is by far the best of the stimulants. Adderall has a much greater effect on the cardiovascular system, while Dex has more of an effect on the central nervous system. If you keep the Dex dose low and take frequent "drug holidays," there should be no problem. Adderall tends to make many people irritable. Dex does just the opposite for me. It helps my depression and it helps me cognitively, while Adderall makes me a nervous wreck. I think it's best to try a week or two of each and decide which is best for YOU. Your doctor isn't taking the meds; you are. By the way, 25% of Adderall IS dexedrine (dextroamphetamine).
