AME,
I'm just curious: I read a post of yours from several months back that stated you found Dexedrine more prosocial than Adderall. Then I read a more recent post where you rated Adderall's prosocial effect as 200% and Dexedrine's at only 100%.
Did you do anything different with your adderall dosing to make it more prosocial? Was it the addition of Prozac?
Thanks, I really appreciate your insight on this one.

Hi again. :-)
I really can't pinpoint, of course, which factor contributed most to my decision that Adderall is more prosocial than Dexedrine (for me), but I realize now that was an unfair comparison considering all the differences in my other meds/supps over the time I was taking Dex as opposed to Adderall. I could attribute it to having switched to immediate-release Adderall, my doses/timing of the drugs, doses/timing of sodium bicarb, addition of fluoxetine, addition of l-tyrosine, addition of sublingual B12/B9/B6... or any combination of the above. I think perhaps the fluoxetine has exerted the most impact, considering its inhibition of amphetamine metabolism via CYPIID6. Can't say for sure though -- sorry!

> ~Michaelmay i comment? adderall is the racemic 1:1 of l- and d-amphetamine, the former which has a 100-fold lesser binding affintity than the latter. you are likely to experience a more vivid enhancement on dexedrine than adderall, given similar dosages...all the best, chemist
