Have tried many different prescriptions for add before and none have worked as well. Throughout my life I had the same comments said about me. "He's lazy", "Daydreamer", and most everyone expected me to drop out of high school. I am now in college and it helps me to focus in on whatever the professor is teaching like when you zoom in with binoculars or something. Bad thing is I worry it could be addictive especially if a person is predisposed to addiction which I am. Sometimes this seems to give me an insatiable appetite which I think is due to the fact that amphetamines make your body use up its glucose faster which is energy for your cells I believe. But if you have been suffering with add this has been the number 1 best medication I have used for it and I tried concerta, adderal, ritalin transdermal patches, and vyvanse.

With Dexedrine, I am taking a med I self-medicated in the '60s! In 9th grade in '62, I could not stay awake in the AM. My Mom's best friend was a drug salesman and she got Dexamyl for weight.

With Dexedrine, I am taking a med I self-medicated in the '60s! In 9th grade in '62, I could not stay awake in the AM. My Mom's best friend was a drug salesman and she got Dexamyl for weight. I snitched a few dex 15 mg spansule there and at my corner drugstore job. From teacher and parents, I got the usual "lazy, no motivation". Scorn from father who laughed that I would be lawyer. But on Dex, I was honorable mention Merit Scholar. In college, I remembered "speed" and took it to study, carrying virtually an "A" average--I was admitted to and graduated a top 10 law school in 1973.I did not take it in Law School, for fear of getting caught and not wanting to use a crutch. My grades were unremarkable. For the next 30 years, I struggled through terrible life events, witn no medication for my horrific AD/HD. During my second divorce,2002, my X demanded I be tested and I was. I got meds and the Dex is like putting eyeglasses on my brain. I take 15 mg 4 times a day--not out of the usual range--I am 200 pound athletic type. I also take bupoprion aka Wellbutrin for my HD--150 SR twice daily. both work just great for me, since 2002. I tried ritalin, and the other one--I forget its name--but they were ineffective. I have not tried the new ones and do not plan to do so.I am extremely happy with Dexedrine, having taken it on and off for nigh 45 years--and totally on for the last 6 years. I get cotton mouth occasionally, or a bad taste. But my side effects are nothing, zero, compared to the benefits. You folks should try the drugs available--don't be shy, since dosage for a person is trial and error for both stimulants and anti depressives. We AD/HD victims are actually a hell of a lot smarter than the Lilliputians insulting us through life. I love the look on their faces when I tell them my legal career has been in DC as counsel to the Senate, House and the White House and various Federal agencies. You will be amazed at what you can do when you can count on yourself--awake!
