In reply to I forgot to mention my main question: WHICH one, posted by Charlotte on March 22, 2002, at 14:07:03
> might be better for me - the Dexadrine or Adderall?
My personal experience was that addrall made me feel "uncomfortable" or "icky" (how's that for objective "clinical" terminology/feedback...) and more withdrawn -- just wanted to be left alone, didn't want to deal w/or interact w/anyone until it wore off.
Ritalin & Dex made me feel more focused, more normal in respect to energy levels and actually doing anything - even just paying bills, cleaning up, laundry, etc., which just didn't get done w/o waiting until they HAD to be done.
I'd recommend trying the dex. I find that it last a little longer than ritalin (maybe an hour) and that it has slightly (not a lot, but something) more of an "energy" component than ritalin does. Of course, others might tell you they've had the opposite experience...YMMV. Good luck.
