I am taking 20mg Adderall XR in the AM. I think that is the same as Dexedrine spansuls. My doc initially recommended the latter, but my insurance was a pain in the neck about it. If people say the yawning is better on the straight dex (maybe less salts to dehydrate you?) then I will try it. At this point I think my doc thinks I am a pain in the ass.
I tried taking an afternoon dose of XR, but that didn't help. I asked for a short-acting for mid-day, but my doctor prefers not to mix XR with regular.

I have also theorized that it is dehydration (the yawning). I know water can't hurt. I am inclined to think though, after reading up on other people's reactions, that it really is a weird kind of tic. Like an anxious need for a breath. Are you a smoker or an asthamtic, Blondegirl? I am trying to rule out cause, I am both, and overweight...
>Also, it works much better on an empty stomach.
And since I have acid-reflux, I feel that. I also can't take my Prilosec until the Adderall has been in my system for 2+ hrs. Of course, since I am dieting, it is important to get my metabolism moving... good ol' Catch-22.
Damn, I am wordy, but more focused then I used to be, despite the attacks of yawing. =)
Thanks so much for your help! Plenty to think about.
