I just began taking dexadrine yesterday. This is after taking provigil and having difficulty breathing. Anyway, it was a Godsend. The first time I felt like getting out of bed, even left the house! To anyone who knows how bad it is to be that depressed, to find something that changes your mood enough to want to leave the house, I could have cried if I didn't feel so much better. But then there was this sort of crashing at the end. Is that normal? I felt really weird emotionally, so I took some klonopin, and felt a little better eventually. I also get a little racy heart, which I can deal with if for this time it gets me through this rough time (not something I want to take for a long time, because of the heart, and don't want to rely on it). But I had not left the house all week. I took it this morning, a little less, feel a little less euphoric, but still "chipper" and ready to face the day. Does anyone know about the mood crash? Also, do the side effects (headache and nausea) go away, or am I going to be dealing with that too? i can deal with it as long as I feel okay enough to move from my bed! Thanks to any suggestions!
