Positive experiences
“Keeps me focused without the anxiety Adderall started giving me; it helps me relax even.”
“I've been prescribed stimulants such as vyvanse and Dexedrine before. They of course work for concentrating but the side effects are a bit too much.”
“Dexedrine (essentially the older form of adderall) seems to work more naturally with my brain. Low dose seems better for me too (5-10mg).”
“The latter is really safer and my personal experience with it was better compared to Adderall.”
“i've been taking dextroamphetamine for years. there is nothing close to it really.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I felt anxious, had headaches, lost sleep and appetite, and overall felt like it made my ADHD worse.”
“I do take dextroamphetamine 10mg twice a day which helps me to be somewhat productive.”
“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.”
“I'm 1 month in on dextroampetamine 20mg IR and this really brings the anxiety out of me. It will actually make me focus on it and causes my to raise my heart rate whenever I have a anxiety 'burst'.”
“For me 5mg of dextro is like a strong cup of coffee. 10mg is a bit too stimulating to be able to work and fucks up my sleep.”
