Hi rj,

I know that acidic foods do affect the absorption of amphetamines, and something like your acid reflux wouldn't effect it since it only occurs every 3 weeks. The antacid can increase the absorption of the dexedrine, but this can cause dangerous serum levels of the medication.

As far as the focus goes I am not sure why it is not helping you more than it is. Dexedrine is straight dextroamphetamine which is a CNS stimulant, and not CNS/Peripheral like Adderall. Maybe spansules are not a good idea since you are not getting what you're looking for. Try immediate release, or talk to your pdoc about trying something different.

I am on 20 mg of Adderall XR. It works very well in allowing me to focus and it lasts for at least 6 hours with my metabolism.

Do you take Dexedrine everyday?

Twinch :-)
