Hi bigcat,
Have you had a complete and thorough physical exam lately just to rule out anything else that might be contributing to some of the symptoms you have?
It's so odd that you experienced those symptoms on 10 mg of dexedrine but not on 90! Also, have these intolerable symptoms occurred with just one "batch" of dexedrine, or have they occurred over several batches and/or lot numbers? When I was on Dexedrine, I got a bad batch twice over a period of about five years. The second time it happened, I had some symptoms similar to some of yours, including twitches. I had extreme anxiety and no antidepressant effect. Actually, it felt as if the dexedrine had been mixed with something else that was much too stimulating. Do you happen to have the lot number of the last batch you got? I'd be interested to see whether it was the same lot number that caused those symptoms for me. Were you prescribed the proprietary brand (i.e., the name brand) of Dexedrine by Glaxo, Smith, Kline or was it generic? Were they 5 mg tablets? If you don't know the lot number, can you go to the pharmacy and ask for the lot number before they throw the bottle out? Actually, they should keep a record of the lot number and expiration date, but that probably depends on the state you're in.
