I just got this script filled today-there are 2 versions of the Barr generic dextro amphetamine. I got the tablet again-NOT the capsule. While they may technically have the same substance inside, the capusles work differently than the tablets. (for me - completely different effects).
If your doc writes Dextrostat you will get a different med than if your doc writes Dexedrine.
I might be misunderstanding what you are saying (maybe I'm dense today)....I see you are saying its the same formulation..but I am confused that you said:
"*only* remaining IR formula is Barr Dexedrine."
But if that's the case, why do I get Barr Dextrostat and not the Dexedrine?
And if they are the same, then why is there 2 versions of the script; why would doctors need to specifiy Dextrostat rather than Dexedrine to provide me with the version of d-amp that works for me?
Hey-I'm not trying to be argumentive-just a bit confused. If there is only one version, why do would there be 2 ways to write the script, rather than one? Dexedrine is a brand name; so is Dextrostat. If they are exactly the same, why would they be called different names?
Ok-if you are saying the 2 are the same substance - capsule/spanules vs. the tablets, I get that. But I think they work much differently-maybe there is something done to the capusles/spanules in the way they metabolize. That's why I request my doctor write Dextrostat.
Sorry if I am confusing and getting too wordy here. Hopefully that clarifies what I'm trying to say.
