Dexedrine Spanules

Does anyone know how to deal with the side effects of dexedrine?

What if you knew someone that was addicted to this drug and noticing some very alarming changes within them? If they confided in you that they are taking doses which would be considered 4-5 times the amount that is normally prescibed. What if they told you that they are having strange effects like: numbness, like their hands falling asleep permanetly; or feeling like they are kind of floating (not sure how to relate this one).

I think that this may be warning symptoms of overdose but unsure of this. So I was hoping that others here would know more about this drug and the effects.

Thanks all

can't help you but do know you can google any drug and find thousands of sites on them......good luck, pat

its considered a type of speed (upper) and can be gotten on the street and its also put in some diet pills to give people the "lift" or energy they need to lose weight. Sounds like the person is ODing on it or is hooked and going through a type of withdrawal. the person needs to get into therapy / rehab for addiction and get off the stuff before he/she causes themselves to go into cardiac arrest from Over Dose and/or major withdrawal.

Hi ((Justy)):

It's important to get the person to tell their doctor exactly what is going on.

If Dex. gets to a toxic level it can have really serious side effects like driving suicidal thoughts that would not otherwise be there, (sort of like with prozac for some people).

Take care,

Thanks all. I did look up several different sites and the possibility of overdose is likely. I was trying to find out what amounts could cause an od. The usual dosage ranges but is kept around 30mg of this slow release. I think this girl is taking up to 150mg a day at times.

I will see what I can come up with.
