hello, i was on ritalin SR for 4 years up to 80mgs a day then the side effects were worse than the help they gave, my doctor tapered me off them and put me on 50mgs of short acting dexedrine 5mgs 6 months ago, 4 in the morning 3 at 2pm and 3 at 6pm. they worked great but i found myself wanting more sometimes, and some days when they didnt work so great and i was still tired. (im on them for severe ADD and narcolepsy). it is 11:30am today and i just took my first dose of dexadrine spansules ever, i was prescribed them and dosed them at 10am. i took as prescribed,3 15mg capsules in the morning, then i have 2-3 5mgs short acting for the late evening if required...... so far, all i can say is WOW the spansiules feel so much cleaner and smoother than the regulars, less gritty, and my shoulders arent tense, and no headache.... nice and mild (i dont even think i need my whole morning dose of 40mgs valium). ill post again in the evening to tell you what the comedown is like.
