> I've a question for Adderall/Dexedrine users - all who use even small amounts for ADD/dysthymia/anti-depressant.
>
> First of all - do you have any heart problems from the usage? (murmurs,tachycardia,fast beat,irregular beat,pain,etc.)Not really, just terrible fatigue and some hypotension and breathing problems when it wears off sometimes. Dex is much better than Adderall is this regard.
>
> Second of all - how do you deal with appetite suppresion? Are you able to normally eat at least 3 meals/day?Dex is better than the others, in this regard, and sometimes, at normal doses, appetite increases to normal.
>
> Third of all - how do you deal with "comedown"/"crash"/when the amphetamines stop working in the evening?That's a real drag. I suffer from that. Sometimes its ok, other times it leaves me feeling like a wilted dead head. But it's still better that Adderall in this regard. Mostly numb lifeless feeling, no anxiety etc.
>
> Please mention your doses. I appreciate your input.I take between 7.5 and 17 mg a day, depends on the level of stimulation in my daily life. My favored level is 12.5 mg/day. Keeping the dose somwhat lose can help in the long term, for me, insofar as minimizing negative effects.
