A users perspective:
Ok here goes (sorry for being late, pharmacy NEVER EVER has desoxyn in stock):
Generic Dexedrine Spansules (barr labs):Pros:
- MUCH more motivation increase than Desoxyn.
- Spansules last 10 hours.
- Generic Spansules have a smooth "come down" at the end of the day, unlike immediate release Dexedrine.
Cons:- Increased heart rate (darn)
- No hunger.
--------------------------------------------Desoxyn:
Pros:
- Wakes you the hell up!
- Strong stuff, Hits hard (good if you have MASSIVE tolerance to regular stimulants)
- VERY LITTLE increases in heart rate (nice!)Cons:
- No motivation increase.
- Only comes in immediate release, so it lasts only 4 hours per dose.
- At the end of day gives a bad "come down". (Nervousness, Anxiety, Depression, Crappy Feelings.)
- Totally NO hunger...anorexia in a pill
(seriously).
Cheers
