I, too, am interested in why a doc would prescribe
short-acting dex for someone who is not ADD? Even
though I am a tested and approved ADDer, the very
first thing my doc said while writing the rx was
"these are for the spansules - you'll get into
less trouble with these." Not knowing anything
about this drug, I asked and he said that the
quick-release stuff tends to rocket tolerance in
many individuals. Since I've been on 40mg/day for
years, I guess he knows something.
Good Luck! BTW - Are you taking anything else?
