I've tried three. In my case:Ritalin seems to spike on suddenly, akin to a powerful coffee, and then drop off just as abruptly. It is the one most likely to prod me into action. It also definately gives a mood boost- and is the one most likely to give me a slump as it wears off. Higher doses do not feel at all natural to me--tendency to feel driven or fixated.
Dexedrine gave me an incredible mood boost, and felt so warm and nice that it felt downright unfamiliar. Kind of almost euphoric, so unnatural. Going to the grocery store is not supposed to be euphoric. I don't recall any significant slump as it wore off. Only used this for a couple weeks.
I'm using adderall now- and it gives a fantastic mood boost and feels the most natural, undrugged, of the three. Dexedrine is one of the ingredients. Not much of a slump when it wears off, either. It definately both comes on and wears off more subtely than ritalin.
I would have to say I haven't experienced anxiety with any of them, except if dose was too high. In fact, oddly, they help my anxiety and tend to make me feel "warmer"- though a large part of my anxiety has to do with worrying about being a sullen slouch. All made me feel much more outgoing and sociable, all three were powerful wakefulness agents, and all aided my attention and concentration. All boosted my mood- dexedrine the most, but again, adderall feels most natural to me.
