Focusing isn't as sharp as Ritalin, but seems to allow for better creativity.

I have very SEVERE CFIDS/ME and spend about 85% of the time completely bedridden. On the days that I feel I might be able to function a bit, I have to take the Dexedrine in order to be able to get up, dress myself, and go about my day almost like a "normal" person. I was taken off of this med once, and spent an entire year in bed, and went from my always normal weight of 100lbs, to over 200lbs

It has been very difficult to focus on one thing since I have began career, in college alcohol did what add drugs now do which is allow me to focus. I started with adderall about 5yrs ago and now on dex spansules for a year. The dex seems smoother and alot less harsh on my system.

I was taking Adderall XR 30 mg. which cost $4.50/day for 5 years. It tends to wear off after 3 PM. Switched to dexedrine Spansules, take 15 mg. when I awake, 15 mg. 3 hours later. Better than Adderal XR by far and its 22 cents/pill x 2= 44 cents/day

I wish I could have had Dex. years ago. I stay focused and am not hyper. If I had this when I was in school i'm 100% positive that my grades would have been so much better.

I just started on Dexedrine a couple weeks ago and I am seeing an improvement...I have add not adhd but it works well for me....I have only had 1 side effect wich is a dry mouth but I will just drink more water!!!!

This medication has always worked best for me. Every time a new drug came out, my doctor had me try it to make sure I was using the most effective one. I always came back to Dexedrine - no bad side effects, and very effective. Sadly, Dexedrine Spansule Oral will no longer be manufactured!

Alot better then Straterra. Really helps with concentration and impulsivity. Although I find that you REALLY have to limit your cafine intake as it will cause the most SEVERE headaches you can every imangine. I also find a HUGE difference when I skip a day; I have no motivation and feel very tired and lazy.

I'm 36 and I've been taking Dexedrine for about 2 years now. It helps me so much with my concentration and I'm more focused with everything. I would reccommed this drug to anyone who has ADD or ADHD. I feel so much better!!!

I have been ADD all my life and have tried numerous meds over life time. Ritalin worked ok when younger but Dex changed my life. I can stay focused, get my work done, and feel "normal." I have found it to be harder to manage some of my symptoms as I get older but they are not related to being too hyper that's for sure. I eat well and sleep with taking this medication. My worst problems are with the mail order pharmacy I use and getting to my Dr. who is 2 hrs away.
