Some data:dexedrine == dextroamphetamine
desoyn == methylamphetaminei.e. These are different amphetamine drugs
Adderall is a mixture of dexedrine and three other amphetamine salts. I found dexedrine to be as stimulating as Adderall but less agitating. You might find that Focalin XR (which is a single isome r of Ritalin) has comparable effects to Aderall without the side effects. You may find that buspar helps with the agitation.
