Dexadrine vs. Dextrostat

Posted by zenclearer on April 22, 2004, at 21:06:27

Do you notice any differences between these two forms of dex?

I find Dexadrine very mild and mellow, while Dexotrostst has more of a kick.

REcenlty, Dexadrine has maded me too mellow (increased dosage does not change feeling). But Dexstrostat clearly has a sharper edge that has been useful recently, though it makes me nervous, while Dexadrine does no.

Anyone know why? Anyone have experiences?

No one has any feedback at all?

dexedrine - i am assuming you are taking the glaxowellcome SFK-E18 5 mg tabs, or at least a variation - works bery well for me. once, i tried dextrostat, and although it has the highest FDA bioequivalence rating with dextroamphetamine sulfate (AA), i found it to be inferior...this was truly a surprise, and opposed to your experience, i found dextrostat to be less effective than the brand-name dexedrine. are you doing tablets or sustained release? all the best, chemist

Thanks for comment. I take tabs. I too find Dexadrine "better," but still, the Stat seems stronger in a way the Drine is not.

Perhaps I've become too efficient at metabolizing the Drine after 4 years, and that's why the Drine effects are so fleeting now. After about 3 hrs, I begin to feel foggy and weak; less sustained effect than previously.

chemist here....could be the latter, i've had some of that myself. don't know if it's the crash following the initial stimulation, but remember, dexedrine has a pretty short half-life (12 hours) and a time to peak plasma concentration of around 2 hours, so what you are saying makes sense in re: the 3 hour fog....thanks for your input, and all the best, chemist

 

Spansules or Dex?

Um, 12 hour half-life? Is this the Spansules or regular Dexedrine?

I really dislike talking to a friend who brings up Dexedrine, because I get all excited about talking about it, then quickly learn they mean to say Spansules.

Spansules, for me and many others, tend not to work at all.

hi there....according to glaxosmithkline, half-life is 12 hours for both tablet and spansule; peak plasma concentrations (of same 15 mg dose) were 3 hours for tablet and 8 hours for spansule......all the best, chemist
