> Thanks for responding. I did experience some mild euphoria on Dexedrine, though it typically accompanied my morning dose, and the effect completely vanished after a week.
>I think it's normal to experience euphoria on Dexedrine. That's why it's so tightly controlled.
> I did have two other unusual experiences on Dexedrine: 1) formication (i.e. the sensation of bugs crawling on my skin), though I was never under the impression that bugs actually *were* crawling on my skin, so I don't believe that constitutes psychosis.

> 2) I was initially instructed to take 5mg 4x a day, including 5mg at bedtime. Not surprisingly, I couldn't sleep at all the first night, so ended up taking an Ambien. The next day, I noticed that if I stared at the clouds for a while, they started to flicker or seemed animated, but once I refrained from dosing at night, I never noticed anything like that again . .
>That was more likely due to the Ambien. Or perhaps due to disturbed sleep.
