Hello
Its been a while, and I am still struggling with Dexedrine tolerance.
My question:
When I take my 8am dose of 30mg IR Dexedrine, the positive emotional feelings are severley dimished, and often not present at all. Would it be accurate to assume (as I do) that the positive attentional benefits of the medication have also been reduced equally proportionate? I ask because I am having a difficult time trying to determine if I have become tolerant, I believe I have, BUT I read somewhere that even if the "bang" of Dexedrine is gone, the effect of concentration has not. For whatever reason I think I gauge the effectiveness by how it effects my mood.
Thank-you to any responders!

I think this would be an inaccurate assumption

The benefits to your cognition remain the same and any tolerance you may have developed for the drug would only be measured in its emotional impact.
