hi! I've never taken desoxyn, so I can't give you first hand accounts. From what I understand, though, the reason methamphetamine became somewhat popular in psychiatry (it seems to have been more popular for weight loss, though) was its "cleaner" side-effect profile. Once the dose is titrated (apparently it causes anxiety during this period--more so than other amphetamines), the side-effects were relatively mild (aside from the weight loss, of course). Anyway, it wasn't ever all that popular, and its less popular now, but..if your doc is up for it, it might be a good alternative...its pretty good as an anti-depressant (for some people), so if depression or dysthmia contributes to your ADHD, it could be helpful there, too. Good luck!
