Point of Dex?

I am on it, but not for IC purposes, so I was excited to see this! What does it do for IC?

I suggest you read some of the old post on dex, I don't think Adderall is the same as Dex, and for the most part Adderall is a mixture of meds one of which is dex, but if I remember correctly people did better on just the dex or thought it would be better for some reason.

The generic of Adderall is Dextroamphetamine Sulfate. That's what my bottle says anyways. lol

I know that but go back in old posts someone researched this quite abit, and found it is a combo of 4 meds, 1 of which is the dex people here are taking the ares are simular.

I don't mean to be pushy, but I feel people should be well informed about what they do, and someon has taken the time to do the research for you, serch old posts on Dex.

I know several people personally that were helped by dexedrine. I feel it is like all our treaments. If amitriptyline hadn't worked for me, which it did, I was going to try the dexedrine next. We are all so different.

Adderall has some extra salts in it that may be problematic. If you're going to try Dex, IMHO, and I'm not a doc, but have been taking Dex for over a year. It helps, it doesn't take all the pain away, but puts it down quite a bit.

I'm a little tired now, but I remember I was offered Adderall and had looked it up and was leary of the extra salts-- that's not what the Dr. Jerome Clark studies used. Again...just Google the doc and dextroamphetime sulfate or search earlier posts here. Just too tired to get it for you now.
