zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Vyvanse gets metabolized into dexedrine, so when I was on Vyvanse I used dex as my top up for the evening to keep things consistent.

Having tried a bunch of meds, I definitely preferred dexedrine over mixed (aka Adderall). I found there was less irritability.

I can’t give a comparison, as I’ve been on generic Adderall for the last 9 years or so.

But! I’ve noticed that even different generics from different manufacturers have different potency & effects. Did realize that XR causes me higher anxiety and sometimes uncontrollable anger, which scared me so bad, as I pretty much never get angry.

What have you found to be so good about the effects of Dexedrine vs. Adderall, OP? Any big differences?

Lophostemon,

I’m on Vyvanse, a slow-release dexy. It’s better than the three-a-day dexy.

cheese_greater,

You know you can just dissolve it volumetrically in a choice beverage and get similar benefit with Dexedrine Spansules eh, I like it better cuz I can self-adjust based on how I’m feeling and if I’m overstimulated (happenz) I can modulate that so as to sleep better and have less overreaction

Edit: 3/day, u talking 10mg spansule, thats a lot if its 15mg… could never handle that on the reg

Lophostemon,

Australia literally ran out of 30mg tablets for a while and I had to get 40mg. It’s a leeeetle too much but I’m not sure I can be bothered trying to bust open the capsules and remeasuring the teensy bits of powder.

cheese_greater,

Adderall or Dexedrine (dextro)? You guys have that, I thought it was only straight dexamphetamine?

What are all the meds available in Aussie (like methylphenidate, dexamphetamine, maybe modafinil)?

Lophostemon,

No idea, sorry. I know very little about the range of available stuff.

marshadow,

Dexedrine was better for my circulation, but turned me into an emotionless dick. With adderall, I have to pace every 45 minutes but get to keep my humanity. (I did trial Ritalin once, but I slept all day then accidentally brandished a knife at my then-husband while cooking dinner, so my psych told me to never take methylphenidate again.)

cheese_greater, (edited )

brandished knife

Comedown [sucks]?

Any theories on why that is the case? I’m curious to split my script 50/50 (like keep my Dexedrine Spansule script just 1/2) and retry like 20 mg Adderall and see how I do but its gonna be a massive pain in the ass to do it aha
