I originally was taking Dextrostat. I found myself feeling weird about 5 hours after I took one, and that would remind me that I needed another dose. I started building this association that I need a pill to get back "up". I had a constant reminder throughout the day that I was using drugs to control how I felt. I did not like the rapid up and then later a rapid down.
I'm trying the spansules now. Yes, they may be weaker mg to mg. To compensate, I convert using a formula such as: 1 mg Dextrostat = 3 mg Spansule. I take a Spansule in the morning and one after lunch. This seems to cover the day well. I do not feel the ups and downs. Because the spansules give a smooth, even coverage, it is easier for me to attribute the way I feel to other factors besides what I am taking.
