I've gathered an impression that dexedrine has a particularly bad reputation, kind of like the "valium" of the stimulant world. Parden the imperfect analogy- but both meds seem to have the most gasp-inducing reputations of their classes, apparently unfairly, due to the mythology around them. Well, that's just my theory, anyway.

I rather am a fan of dexedrine, too- found it much smoother and kinder than ritalin, without a doubt. I liked Shire's adderall A LOT- not sure yet about this new Barr brand version- but what appealed to me about the original version of Shire adderall, I think, is possibly the dexedrine content (or format), and it's lack of ability to make me ever feel speedy or crashed. And it didn't ever feel like being on any drug, whereas dexedrine most definately gave me stretches of "unusually" boosted mood, calm and beautifully optimistic feeling. It could also feel speedy at times. Perhaps this mood boosting ability has made it a favorite of abusers, and so it became to be considered a risky bet to prescribe? What psychiatrist wants to risk losing their liscence? Severe abuse- isn't that what happened with dexedrine during the 60's? Again, all this speculation in search of answers only theory.

Yes, I wish it were more available. Wonder what the new vyvanase will be like-it's said to be based off dexedrine.
