Has anyone tried Dexedrine? I've only tried Adderall, Ritalin... Adderall stays in my system too long for me to eat anything, while Ritalin leaves quickly enough for me to schedule meals around it.
But 3Beers claims it's helped his social phobia "especially with klonopin." Well, yeah, of course! I suppose crack and klonopin would also work : ) I am pretty sure I'd feel just as anxious as I do on the others, but my doc has offered to switch me if it's really bothering me.
But seriously, I'm interested in knowing what appears to sound like a paradoxial effect in 3Beers... is anyone else experiencing a reduction in Dexedrine with anxiety or less stimulant-inducing anxiety than other stims they've tried?
I've also heard Dexedrine is less "dulling." That would be nice. I feel terrible on Ritalin, it makes my stomach acidic and my head "boring." Sorry, but I can't describe it any other way... when I said it gave me a "dull" feeling, my doctor looked at me like he's never heard that word before, and couldn't understand why it was doing that. Geez, this is someone who sees kids to get the stuff all the time, and a college student is producing symptoms he's never heard of! Does anyone else get these feelings?
Oh yeah, and the acidic-feeling (sour stomach?) doesn't go away with Mylanta, Tums or Pepto... weird...
