> mattNervous maniacs ha? yes it can have a caffeinated effect, and sometimes causes nervousness. I have wanted to try Dex for a while as most seem to prefer it, I have a referall to a specialist, so hopefully i can try it. 20mg seems to be a standard dose? and its better for depression?
Is it really better than Ritalin, a Psydoc who first gave me ritalin said most prefer it, but he prolly just didn't want to script dex, i have heard it's smoother, and like a "caffeine less ritalin"?
