I'm on Desoxyn for ADD (5mg 2x/day). This is an embarassing problem, but apparently after I urinate, I am having difficulty "stopping" a bit. It seems that for whatever reason the Desoxyn is weakening the muscle that contracts for urinations/other stuff. I'm a guy.
It seems silly to switch to Dexedrine over this. Speaking of which, I have to say I think all of these ADD meds have their pluses and minuses. Adderall's cute because it keeps me up all day, but it also exacerabates my anxiety. Dexedrine isn't as energizing, but also isn't an anxiety-provoking. Desoxyn is gentler, less anxiety-provoking, but also doesn't motivate me to do work in the same way Adderall does. In fact, I easily fall asleep unless I take a higher dose of it.
