My doc first prescribed 15mg Adderall all at once in the morning. It only lasted about 4-6 hrs and had a really quick uplifting feeling for about 2 hours, but the minute that it peaked out.. the downslide was a horrible sinking feeling that made me want **MORE** of the drug. It made me feel like a junkie so I told the doc this wasn't going to work.

Then he prescribed concerta 36mg in the morning and I liked that alot it lasted 12 hrs with a little bit of up and down, I never had that craving for more - but wasn't on my formulary so..

The next stop was Dexadrine - he prescribed 40mg total 20mg in the morning and 20mg at noon. It is only supposed to last about 8hrs, but on just the first 20mg I can't sleep at night, so I rarely take the second 20. Dexadrine make me a little shaky like too much caffeine and I definately don't have cravings for more of it... In fact I can't drink caffeine when I am taking it because anxiety sets in... it also makes me irritable.

I am taking a hiatus from stimulants right now in favor of neurontin, but I think I may go back to the concerta and pay the extra $$.
