WHY IS THIS NOT THE FIRST THING DOCTORS PRESCRIBE? Honestly the best thing. Grades went from 50 to 85's in 2 months!

Just wish that the stigma didn't make it so hard for people, who need it, to get. Its not as though this has helped our country's drug epidemic.

Just wish that the stigma didn't make it so hard for people, who need it, to get. Its not as though this has helped our country's drug epidemic. It really does help me be a more functional human being. Its like my brain waves normally vary from FM to AM and this makes it XM-style crystal clear. I even notice about two weeks of improved function after not having access to the medication. Then sadly it all comes back... Finding a doctor willing to prescribe to an adult is much more difficult than it used to be and my last doctor was very old and started having health problems. Since then I have moved and the 3 months that seems standard to wait to be seen (poor peoples' insurance) coupled with the ADD is an obstacle to treatment in and of itself. I have spent the last couple of hours researching potentially more accessible alternatives, but the truth is, for me, this is certainly the gold standard.

This medication has truly helped make my brain run as if it were a completely different organ in itself. I find myself calm but able to focus at work and school. I am on two pills per day once upon waling and one after lunch.

I'm a 30-yr-old male diagnosed with severe - ADHD aged 29. Been on Dexedrine IR 15mg x 3 daily for 2 months and I find it a superb medication for controlling impulsivity.

I'm a 30-yr-old male diagnosed with severe - ADHD aged 29. Been on Dexedrine IR 15mg x 3 daily for 2 months and I find it a superb medication for controlling impulsivity. Very few side-effects and unlike Ritalin IR if I miss or am late taking my next dose I don't get that deflated, low feeling. It really is a smooth ride all the way. Probably the best ADHD-stimulant med for controlling restlessness and thus results in a significant improvement in my day to day organisation. My ability to concentrate on tasks is now within the spectrum of normal, in fact I'd say at the top end of normal. My only criticism is that for me it's slightly less motivating than Ritalin so if your a daydreaming procrastinator maybe that might be a better choice. However I find Dexedrine improves my ability to multi-task whereas Ritalin decreases it because it forces me to lock-on to a task like a robot. All in all, both meds are highly effective, similar, and safe.
