ADD and medications...what to expect

Posted by the blue professor on March 30, 2003, at 1:06:04

Hello all. I was recently started on dexedrine. I have not taken any medications for ADD since the early seventies (I am 53). I do not remember what my dosage was then but I took ritalin for a while and later dexedrine. I stopped taking them because my spouse made me. Didn't believe in these drugs. I have REALLY had a hard time getting to where I am and in the last couple of years the symptoms have gotten worse - to the point that I had to do something. I don't have the original spouse now and my present one is very supportive.

My psyc. put me on 10 mg dexadrine spansules, one per day. Should I feel anything from this dosage? I honestly cannot tell I have even taken it. I could take one of these before bedtime with absolutely no problem.

I seem to remember that these had a stronger effect on me when I took them before. Anybody have any idea why this is happening. Is this dosage really small or do I have an atypical response?

I am just curious at this point as it is a couple of weeks before my next appointment. I appreciate any insight you can offer.
