Dexedrine Remorse

Posted by Johnny B. Linux on July 4, 2006, at 7:12:37

I frequently feel quilty about using my prescription medication Dexedrine (ER caps) 10mg that I take as directed bid (taken 2x/ day). My guilt doesn't seem rational. Thanks to a patient doctor, we have discovered that for me Dexedrine is superior to Ritalin and Adderall; he said something about my individual makeup and genetics.

Yes, I function much better, plan and schedule, and get daily tasks accomplished. Overall, I am more goal-oriented and have "direction" in my life, whereas before everything was such a terrible struggle and I felt so lost.

Why do I feel guilty? I was diagnosed ADD/ADHD multiple times throughout my life beginning when I was kindergarten. I am 29 years old, a college junior, and a professional insurance agent.

Can anyone else relate? I can't shake this guilt. I don't feel high or drugged after taking it, nor do I ever abuse it.

Maybe I'm afraid of success after so many past failures and mistakes. *sigh* Feedback appreciated. Thanks.
