Please anyone...
I've "severe AD(H)D" per numerous pdocs. My current pdoc has switched my 30 mgs. of Dexedrine to 30 mgs. Desoxyn Gradument (please, I do know that it's classified as a "methamphetamine," as does my pdoc [I add this only in hope that no one will feel it necessary, or obligated, to "attack," critique, or belittle me, as I currently don't feel strong enough to endure any such thing. So please... please... don't]).
My AD(H)D has been sooo horrible, that even as I type this, I'm crying (AND I HAVEN'T CRIED FOR YEARS). I'm terrified that I'll have to live the rest of my life feeling just as horrid as I feel at this very moment, as I just received a phone call from the pharmacist at Eckerd Drugs telling me that he's called 2 drug manufactures and both told him that Desoxyn had been discontinued.
I've read recent information on the web referring to this specific drug and my pdoc had even found it in his current (I suppose it's current) big red drug book (I forget the name-sorry)
IS THE PHARMACIST RIGHT? IS DESOXYN GONE?! If anyone knows I beg you to write me, as I feel like the world is falling down around me (I've already paged my pdoc but someone is on call for him and I'm scared to call her.
I just want my regular pdoc... I know I must sound like a stupid, snivelling, imbecile... Trust me I'm already embarrassed of this message I'm about to pose.
I just think someone on here might know about this drug and if it's truly GONE....Aplogies (in advance),
DrexxieAddendum: Current meds: 450 mgs. Wellbutrin (am)
60 mgs. Celexa (am)
.6 mcgs. Thyroid (3 X day)
30 mgs. Dexedring Spansules
(before bed)
60 mgs. Adderall 93 X a day)I think that's all.... I'm not remembering too well right now.
