In reply to Desoxyn for the methamphetamine 'addict', posted by Jake on July 27, 1999, at 11:48:20
Regarding Desoxyn:
After having taken the following prescription medications for severe ADHD: Adderall, Dexedrine, Cylert, Wellbutrin, Ritilan, and numerous combination therein, I am having drug "lapses" on my current daily doses of 30mg. Dexedrine Spansules, 450mgs Wellbutrin and 60mg. Adderall.
These lapses last from 2-14 days and began approximately 9 months ago. I've been on the Dex, Well, and Add., combo for almost 3 years now without any problems. During these episodes, I'm much as I was prior to receiving treatment for my ADHD. These lapses are truly interferring with my life, missing appointments, disappointing friends, no longer reliable, et al.
A friend of mine who is an MD, recommended that I discuss switching to Desoxyn in regards to ADHD treatment. I do see psychiatrist in regards to treatment, but would like more information prior to mentioning any such "switch" to my doctor.
I realize that the meds I'm currently taking have some serious side effects, and am worried that switching to desoxyn would only entail my having to encounter even more serious of side effects.
Any, any, advice would be most appreciated.
