> Scott,
> I need something in an immediate-release form; do they make Dexedrine in immediate-release form?? I have an appt. w/my pdoc tomorrow. do you have any other helpful suggestions for me? I fear that when I tell them about the problems I've had with Ritalin (along w/the minimal effect it has on my ADHD, it also gives me marked anxiety, stomachaches, nausea, etc...) they may yank me off of Ritalin, not put me back on Adderall, and then goodness only knows what will happen! To be honest, they do not seem that well-versed with ADHD meds anyway...maybe it is time for me to find a new pdoc...pls. write if you can currently think of anything that may be helpful to my situation, though! thank-you so much!

>yes they make 5 and 10mg immediate-release dexedrine in both generic and brand name. the only advice I can give is be assertive and make sure they know that the adderall was a marked improvement, at least for a while. i dont see any reason to be fearful they will not put you back on a certain med if you are insistent that it was helping you. tell them you just want to experient with other stims to make sure you have the best one possible for you.
