Hi there,
I've been on & off dex for 17 years (doctor started me on them at the ripe old age of 12)
To answer your questions - yes and no. It certainly makes you feel happier, motivated and generally enthusiastic, but what goes up must come down & when you come down from dex, it hurts (for me anyway).
I was a happy, social child but quickly transformed into a total mess by my teens. I have life together now, though still struggle from time to time. Dex keep me trim and happy for short periods - also help me with studies and motivation at work. So, little difficult to completely boot, but getting there.
The most balanced I've ever been was during my mid 20's, 4 years of my life where I completely stopped taking meds and started jogging. Try it! Jogging combined with a healthy, fresh diet will make the world of difference - mentally and physically.
Good luck, A

my pdoc wants me to try this, to help with my energy. he keeps asking me if i've had a chance to read up on it yet and make up my mind. i'm easy to try it, but he really sounds like he won't give it to me until i've done a bit of research (bless).
so does anyone know where i can start looking? i'm at a bit of a loss because i don't think it's called the same in the states, and all the info in australia seems to be on its use in ADHD.
