Dexedrine is a mildly addictive drug. I have to manage myself so that it does not become a problem. The way you describe the days without Dexedrine it sounds like withdrawl. Dex withdrawl starts very quickly.
50mg is a lot of dexedrine. You may also be experiencing a nasty rebound.
Are you taking Dexedrine or Dexedrine SR. The SR can help manage the addiction a little since they kick in slower and the positive reinforcement is smaller.
I suggest being straight with your doctor. A little self-medicating is a long way from buying street drugs or importing drugs illegally. I think you can learn to manage the addiction with the help of a good doc.
