James here....As you know Adderal is both d and l-amphetamine. I have looked all over to find info on l-amphetamine and came up nil. I do know some people who have had experience with these diffrent isomers. They say that the d isomer is the smoother one and the l isomer is the speedy, shaky, wirey kind. They prefer d isomer. In biological life the d isomer is most times the active while the l isomer is less active or has sideeffects.
So, I would say there is no real chemical difference between Dex and Adderal. However Adderal does have a different time release method
so this could account for some difference.Dex is cheaper so I say go with Dx.
