The new PDoc I've been seeing gave me dexedrine (the capsules) instead of dextrat (tablets). I did not notice till I got home from the pharmacy. He said the word dextrat, don't know how I ended up with dexedrine.
I checked real quick on Wiki and it seems they both are supposed to be d-amphetamine--the same exact drug?. But I swear it does not work the same. I haven't taken one in at least a week now, so I'd normally feel something when I haven't taken it in a while; instead, i took 1--it made me tired--so I took 2 and got more tired. I never took the other ones close to the same time-i'd wait at least 4 hrs, usually 6. But after 2 hrs, i took the 2nd and still felt really tired.
I don't know if I'm just sleep deprived or if its the capsule vs. tablet. ?
And for a sch. II med, can a doctor call in a new one to replace it? I mean you can't just give the old one back to the pharmacy can you?
