I'm taking Dexedrine now, but I've only been able to tolerate very small doses-- under 5 mg/day, which does not do much for my symptoms.
I am trying very patiently increase my dosage as my body will tolerate it. However, my heart tends to go crazy on any dose that is effective for my symptoms. Nonetheless it is much more tolerable than Adderall since it doesn't contain the (in my opinion) junk levoamphetamine isomer (and has the added benefit of being much cheaper-even with the brand).
This is my third time trying dexedrine and I'm only increasing my dose by 1.25 mg every day or every other day as tolerated. Hopefully my patience will pay off. If not I plan to give Focalin a shot. I would be very happy though if Dex works out though since it works well on my symptoms.
