Thank you for all the info. I will talk to my doctor about switching to either dexedrine (dextrostat 10mg) or desoxyn, hopefully he can determine which one would be better for me. It's unfortunate though, as I live in a very rural area, my psychiatrist has little experience with prescribing stimulants, and he spoke of only 2 other adults he has treated for add using wellbutrin. Thus, I have picked up the habit of reading a ridiculous amount of information about any medication I take, and possible alternatives. So I go to see my pdoc armed with articles, studies, etc, and an informed opinion and he generally prescribes whatever I ask him for. I'm not sure if this is viewed as medically "acceptable," or even theraputically beneficial, but like everything it has pros and cons. I am optimistic about finding some relief with either the dexedrine or desoxyn.
