What people say about Dextroamphetamine and mood
“at 20mg or 5mg life does feel much better. anything over 5mg Dex I feel uncomfortably numb, irritated and just mad.”
“the 30mg a day has been giving me more negative side effects then good...I can't go 2-3 days without it, because I enter a state which includes severe depression, complete lack of motivation, no drive for life, withdrawal from social contact, and extreme anxiety.”
“By day 5-6 the same dose was barely noticeable. My depression rebounded and I felt apathetic, lazy & unmotivated.”
