It was making my heart race and my pressure was way up. Also I don't like the xr, I can definately feel the second dose kick in when I'm just fine and don't want more. Maybe dexedrine spansules would be better for me.

> I've read that dex might be smoother and have less cardio type effects, I'm looking for something a doctor might take seriously. Gave up on my worthless pdoc, got adderall from my GP and I'm not sure how familiar she is with dexedrine in case the adderall doesn't work out.
