That is quite a low dose of dexedrine. Is it generic dexedrine? I have found the tablet form of generic dexedrine doesn't work well for me. However the time release spansule seem to do ok. I also take adderall short acting when the time release starts to ware off. If you can tolerate it, be sure to take on an empty tummy and don't eat for at least an hour. Acidic food and drink lower absorption. If you do a search on this hear you will find a lot of info on what to not eat or drink with your medication. Take your vitamin C at night or get a buffered version.
It took about 2 weeks to get my insurance company to let me take dexedrine spansule, all though they let me get dextrostat which is a form of dexedrine. The doc had to write a special letter of need. In my opion dextrostat is much better than the generic tablet.
5mg tablet, but quickly moved up to 10mg. I have a higher tolerance than most.
Hope this helped
