I dont have alot of experience with Dexedrine. I have only been taking it for a week. However I do know this because I tend to over inform my self on medications I take. Any addiction you feel is more psychological than physical. According to everything I have read, which is a lot.
I belive that. Think about this a human can survive without water for several days. The exact number I do not know. However If someone were locked in a room with no water no food (you can go much longer without food up tp a month I belive) and they knew they were going to be let out in 5 days(lets say a human can go for 7 days no water, just for this example)You can almost be certain that after the first few days their mind would be obsessing about water. Even though their body did not need it. It is a psychological need.
You can replace it with practically anything. We are so used to having walls around us the first thing we encounter when we are born is a hospital room, then a hall way then a larger room, a car, a house, walls walls walls. Making us feel enclosed and safe if suddenly there were no walls all the buildings collapsed, humans would find caves and holes to hide in a substitute. If there were no enclosures, humankind might have a problem dealing with it being "addicted" to the sense of security an enclosure brings.Do you get my point perhaps if you can start to think of your usage like this as just something you think you need more of whereas in reality you most like just want more of it because you have convinced youself of this because of your feelings. Maybe there is something else going on at the end of the month that could affect you adversly and convince you that you need to up the dose.
It seems that if you just up it towards the end then run out, go dry then start at your normal dosage it really is psychological. Especially if it is only a few days of going dry, its takes a while for drugs to leave your system, and the longer you are on one the longer to leave. So you aren't clean after a few days.
Try using your mind...Its stronger than you think. If that doesn't work take breaks.
I also remember reading something about taking the supplement L-tyrosine to help with the need to increase. Though it was on a message board so ask you doctor. I do know that Vitamin C has been touted as a natural alternative for children for ADD/ADHD. Perhaps Instead of increasing take vitamin c. Try the effevecent ones that fizz in water in or your mouth it might give you an energy boost.
