Hi, I'm new. Someone asked about dexedrine and there were no replies, so I thought I'd help out. I've been taking d-amphetamine for at least 15 years, mostly 30mg, but just lately 15mg. The price is totally ridiculous, having gone up from about $100 for 90 about 2 yrs ago to about $250 now. Anyway, I decreased the dosage because of that and also I'm afraid that it will raise my blood pressure (I am on medication).
My psychiatrist prescribes because I am a naturally sleepy person and some ADs make me worse than others. Even taking the 30mg, I had a couple of incidents of starting to doze while driving. But that was while taking an AD that was not right for me.
I dont believe I've had any side effects. But of course one builds a tolerance to it. It still works, if not as much as it once did. It helps my brain start functioning-- a little--and keeps me from salivating over food. If there is more I can tell you, please ask.
