And if so, what conditions must be met in order for a doctor to write up a script of Desoxyn for his/her patient?
To date, I've tried Adderall, Dexedrine (most recently) and Ritalin (as a kid) - and I think it's mostly the "curiousity factor" that makes me want to compare the positive effects of Desoxyn to medication I'm currently on and have been on before.
I previously mentioned that there is still somewhat of a stigma attached with Dexedrine versus Ritalin or even Adderall. I now understand that this is because there is a higher potential to abuse Dexedrine (d-isomer considered to be more "fun"). But this doesn't even come close to what I perceive as this overwhelming taboo on the whole Desoxyn med. My drug doctor (I have two doctors, a drug doctor and a phychiatrist that communicate with each other) and I talked in great lengths regarding the appropriate treatment for my severe ADHD, explaining to me how certain stimulants have different CNS to peripheral stimulation ratios; but never did he mention Desoxyn, which is thought to have the most desirable ratio.
Why is this? Is it solely the generic name that the doctors are afraid of, or is there something more to it? How does one approach a doctor about a trial on the thing without sounding like a druggie?
Thanks,
