Hi, I posted a similar message to this a while ago, but only got one reply (not that that wastnt helpful), but I do need more advice and have a few more questions.
Right now Im on adderall xr 20mg, and while it does improve my energy, and concentration a tiny bit, it does nothing for motivation or sociability the way provigil (which I used to take) did. So I think I need a higher dose, although it does make me jittery (does this decrease with time?).
Because of the jitteryness, I was considering asking for dexedrine spansules, since it doesnt have the l isomer of amphetamine in it. But Im a bit confused about dosage conversion with adderall, since in adderall's monograph it states its a 3 to 1 mixture of the d and l isomers, but when you look at the ingredients all 4 salts are in equal amounts. So would 20mg of dexedrine be a 10 or a 5mg higher dose?
Also, Id like to hear people experience with how long the dex spansules really last; can it really be taken once a day and work all day (or at least 8 or 9 hours)? If not, how long does it last for you?
thanks,
matt
