I am currently on Dexedrine, 15 mg two times per day and I crave coffee constantly. The problem is sometimes coffee gives me an energy and mood boost and other times I feel like crying and end up having to take a nap shortly after a cup as I also feel extremely tired.

Do you drink enough water? Dexedrine & Caffeine all cause dehydration, that could in part be a problem that is causing dysphoria. You would probably be better off drinking Gatorade or ice water at work while you are on the dexedrine. Dexedrine is really a much superior stimulant to caffeine & you probably shouldn't need any caffeine with the high dose of 30 mg/day of dexedrine (unless you are on the 'spansules' which don't work nearly as well as regular dexedrine). Caffeine on top of the dexedrine is bound to cause nervousness & dysphoria. Dexedrine, the d-isomer of amphetamine is greatly superior to regular racemic d,l amphetamine because it causes about 5x as much psycho/CNS stimulation as amphetamine without as much 'peripheral' (bad, dysphoric) CNS side effects . Caffeine is a "dirty" stimulant like regular d,l amphetamine because it causes much 'peripheral' cns stimulation (nervousness, jitteriness, increase in breathing, heartrate etc)& although caffeine weakly increases norepinephrine & dopamine it is not a very good psychostimulant.
