I live in a large city (> 1 million people) and my pharmacy says their Dexedrine orders are never filled -- they believe it is nearly impossible to get in the entire city. I'll take name brand Dexedrine or generic Dextroamphetamine. It doesn't matter.
I need this drug. I have narcolepsy and metabolize amphetamines quickly. Vyvanse and Dexi are the only drugs that work for me. I take 60 mg Vyvanse around 6:30 am then 7.5 mg Dexi at 1:30 then often 5 mg Dexi at 5 pm. I've been cutting back my Dexi dose but my evenings have been bad -- I'm angry, irritable, headachy, un-coordinated and generally somebody that nobody wants to be around. When I take my full Dexi dose, life is so much easier for everyone.
I can get my pdoc to fax an Rx anywhere. I have Rx in-hand. Does anyone know where the drug IS?
My only other option (that I can see) is to take a smaller dose of Vyvanse at 1:30. I do that occasionally when I don't get home until 9:30, but I'd sure rather not do that every day -- despite obvious negative side-effects of going without, some days my body tells me I NEED to have a lower dose. (And I have a strong feeling my insurance won't pay for "16 hours" of stims a day, even though for me it is closer to 12 hours)
I've got about 8 days of Dexi left.
