Desoxyn is simply another amphetamine, like Dexedrine, with a methyl component added. It tends to result in fewer side-effects. I loved this, until after 4 mos. of use it made me feel on the down... Ritalin did this to me too after a few months. I don't have bipolar, but my mind defnititely grows more sensitive to stimulants over time. I could try immediate release ones, probably will, but right now I'd rather stick with something that will get me away from the risk of feeling on the down.
I think it's actually working, I'm taking 2 10mg spansules in the morning. I'll try 1 at morning and one at noon. To be honest, I'd likely need just one 10mg a day if I had a p-doc that gave me provigil-- but she wants me to try this alone first before giving me that, so I'll have to tough out my fatigue for another 2 weeks.
My only concern is the Multiple Sleep Latency Test required me to take a urine sample. I had taken Ambien the night before, and told them that, but I wonder if it can show up as if I just took it then? That's why they give the test, for people who are trying to fake a sleeping disorder for drugs. Geez, I hope I don't have to do any explaining during my follow-up appt... but you never know with these tests, right?
