For ADHD "I have a positive experience. I was running around with anxiety, depression, and panic attack. I was on all kinds of antidepressants, then my doctor put me on Dexedrine, the best thing that ever happened to me."

For ADHD "Dexedrine is okay! When I first took it, I was excited and hoped to feel something. I was instantly in a good mood, more focused, and patient. However, the come down off this drug is horrible. The depression and sadness start to come back, and it's just discouraging that only a medication can band-aid those emotions. I have felt overstimulated as well. I had a gastric bypass four years ago, so my doc said no XR, but he put me on four 10 mg a day, which I feel is too much. I become agitated, irritable, paranoid, panicky, crying, etc. I decreased it to two a day. I feel that this might be too strong of a stimulant for me. I want to try Adderall since it's cheaper on my insurance and it has less dex. We'll see what he says at my next visit."
