In reply to Re: Adderall vs. Dexedrine. A few questions..., posted by mtdew on December 12, 2003, at 20:57:02
Purpose of L-amp? It does I believe have some positive broncho-dilatory effects that dex does not have.
Does anoyone else seem to have breathing rebound problems with dex? I sometimes feel as though my lungs are having a hard time dilating, and my breathing is shallower.
On the other hand, I cannot tolerate Adderall any more; but those rare times I retry it, I notice the enhanced breathing effects that feels like a relief, compared with dex.
But I agree that dex is far better for focus. But it does leave me physically less resilient.
> IIRC, L-amphetamine doesn't help you focus or elevate your mood, it only causes bodily side effects like jitters and rapid heart beat. I always thought that it was in there to make adderall less abusable. But some people claim that adderall feels "smoother" and they prefer it over dexedrine. In my own limited experience, dexedrine caused an unpleasant knot in my stomach, but was otherwise tolerable, whereas adderall knotted up my stomach less but caused so many other side effects that I found it useless. Does anyone know if L-amphetamine has a purpose?
