> Ask around or do the research and you will find that some people prefer dexedrine and some prefer adderall. People react differently to them. Dexedrine is all dextroamphetamine which is a syntheticly altered amphetamine. Adderall is both dextroamphetamine and amphetamine. Adderall controls the release of amphetamine with the different mixes (sulfate, etc...). It allows for a much longer acting slower releasing med. Dexedrine is primarily controled by a spanule. But if this thing is broken, it will cause a quick short speed rush. Short as in about the time methylphenidate lasts. However, methylphenidate is a MILD central nervous system stimulant. Dextroamphetamine is a all out CNS stimulant. It is way more powerful than methylphenidate hydrochloride.

> Anyways, Adderall contains Dextroamphetamine Sulfate + Dextroamphetamine Saccharate + Amphetamine Asparate + Amphetamine Sulphate. All get an equal share of the pill. 1/4 for each solution. Amphetamine is more powerful than dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine Sulfate is a widely abused street drug.

> Overall, in most cases, Adderall seems to be the choice for people. It lasts longer and is more powerful than dexedrine. Its "speed rush" comes on more gradually. And it comes down more smoothly. Most people on dexedrine crash after it wears off. I've been on both and I can definitely say Adderall is by far better than dexedrine. Many of the people I talk to agree. In fact, I've never heard of someone who preferred Dexedrine to Adderall, at least yet.I prefer Adderall for the reasons you have stated.
