Calling Dexedrine ADHDers!
I've been prescribed Adderall at varying doses for 6 years now and have been at the fda guideline max for about half that time as I have always metabolized fast and work swing shift + OT and parental responsibilities during the day. Over the past year, I'm finding more and more that Adderall is no longer working too well especially certain generics (white octagon >.> useless!) and the side effect of shakey hands is negativly impacting my work.
After doing my own research I've decided to talk to my psych about switching to Dexedrine to minimize the physical side effects and hopefully find better symptom control. So, I'd like to hear some folk's perspectives on Dexedrine especially if they've switched from adderall to it.
Methylphenidate doesn't do much for me at all and something about Vyvanse (generic form maybe?) gave me pretty bad vasoconstriction. I know dexedrine and vynase are the same but perhaps it'll be different if not in the Vyvanse formulation...worth a try and my psych and I have a very unique and great rapport so if anyone has research to bring to him that'd help too!
Other options welcome too but not non-stims unless as an adjunct please thanks!
