I started dexedrine 2weeks or so ago. It worked great to start off with now it seems to pretty much do nothing. Is this normal? Do I need to up my dosage? Im currently taking 10mg twice daily.

Rachie, it usually take about 4 weeks to see the full effect of a medication. If by then you are still feeling the same, then definately let your pdoc know. I wish you well. Dont give up!

I got a good 6 months out of it, but that seems about the max I get out of any ADD drug until it craps out. I did find on Dexedrine that it didn't really help with the constant tiredness, but it did help with my concentration/focus.
