> I switched (actually my doc) my daughter from ritalin to dexedrine a few weeks ago. She switched her because molly said she was getting stomachaches an d headaches. Anyways, the last few weeks many of her good friends have told me that she is just not herself...very mean and irritable. I won't talk to the doc till monday, but I am putting her back on ritalin. Is this something that can happen with dexedrine? thanks, elise
Elise,
I have no experience with dexedrine but I can relate to you that other parents I have been in contact with have reported different reactions (including pschosis) that their kids have had to almost every stimulant that's out there. As they say on this board,"your mileage may vary". Check out www.addclinic.com. There is a very good dicription of the stimulants commonly used in ADD treatment.
