bp - I have found that Adderal tends to poop-out after awhile, although I have not used it clinically in any cases. My main knowledge comes from talking with a child psychiatrist and what I have read on the internet.

Dexedrine is a good drug, but it tends to have addictive qualities (ie. a tendency to increase the dose, once your body adjust to the drug, in order to get the same pleasurable "rush" that you felt when you first started taking the drug).

The Dexedrine Spansules do overcome this problem by being a slow release formulation, and slow release tends to avoid giving that initial rush as is seen with the regular Dexedrine. I found the rush to be annoying because I'd be trying to do everything at once at work, rushing here and there, but not accomplishing anything.

I find 10mg in the morning lasts until 3pm to 4pm, if I take just as I get to work (between 8am & 9am).

And don't think that you can get around the sustained release by crushing or chewing the capsules; the can slightly burn your tongue, and if you snort the crushed tablets you end up with a sore, red nose (that can lead to bleeding) that eventually starts peeling. The red peeling nose is very distinctive (at least to me), so your doc may be able to see if you are abusing the drug or not.

The drug can, in some people, cause paranoid thoughts and the flightiness I described, above.

Sorry, gotta keep this short; I'm using someone's dial-up AOL account and they get charge by time. I will be home late Saturday and will try to get online on Sunday.

Take care big-guy. Love - Cam

Again, I warn that addictive personalities sometimes have problems with this drug, but the long-acting format takes away some of this concern.
