Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) "I have had to deal with narcolepsy, ADHD, and sleep apnea since 16 years old till 66 years old. Dexedrine has been much more tolerated for me than Ritalin or Adderall. Ritalin has less tension, confusion, actions, and decisions. Dexedrine is far better but not as good as Nuvigil."

"I have been taking it for over 34 years and am on 10 mg tabs 3 times a day. It works well for me with almost no side effects. Started on Ritalin, and it did not work well for me. Also tried modafinil, it was too weak. Don't give up trying to treat your symptoms, as doctors don't want to give amphetamines to you."

"I have narcolepsy and ADHD. I'm a poor CYP2D6 metabolizer, so pretty much every amphetamine-based product is way too stimulating for me, and methylphenidate has no effect. I was hesitant to try the tabs considering my terrible reaction to Adderall IR and ER, but shockingly it not only greatly reduces my sleepiness and helps my focus, but the only side effect I get is a slight increase in heart rate. I've been able to enjoy my afternoons without a long nap! I'm kind of mad I never tried it before."

"My doctor had given up on finding a medication that would help me. I saw an article about our military pilot's using Dextroamphetamine on long mission's. So I asked my doctor if I could try it, he said yes, that has been 16 years ago now. I still feel tired most of the day , but I can enjoy my days. I'm not sleeping 20 plus hours a day. I thank God for showing me the article so I could live again. I thank my husband for sticking with me during some very difficult years. I would recommend this medicine, it has given me the ability, to live my life again."

"Hi I am taking dex for narcolepsy to keep me awake and I’ve noticed that I am almost constantly in “the mood”. When I wake up, when I’m going to bed, wow even if I’m eating lunch. I’ve also noticed, I’ve been a lot more “wet” lately too. It’s not something I’m exactly used to but it’s also not a bad thing. I was wondering if it had anything to do with my medication and it seems so. The problem I’ve run into is the fact that my partner isn’t in “the mood” as often as I am and I wasn’t sure how to approach him about this subject."

"I was prescribed dextroamphetamine (adderral) a year and a half ago. I was diagnosed with narcolepsy. I have been this way most of my life and I’m 56 yr old. I always thought it was due to depression. At first I was prescribed 10 mg twice a day and I thought I’d died and gone to heaven! It has totally given me a life. I have had to up the mg once so far and am trying to up them again now. It seems like after a few months it loses its magic. However, never before knowing anything about narcolepsy or Adderral, I am ever so grateful to my sleep dr! What a difference one little pill can make."

"I can’t take two or three 5mg and end up sleeping the entire day away with no issue! Very disappointed. If anything it just gets my heart rate going wicked fast."
