I saw my shrink and was given Dexamphetamine 20mgs daily to start. They made me feel like i was going to have some kinda breakdown after a few days use-DEFINATELY stronger than Ritalin.
Anyone else felt this?

Whoa
Be careful with that stuff
The Pdoc who prescribed it me said it was better than Ritalin because it was "smoother".A lot of people say this & I totaly believed it at the time.
Now I'm not so sure........Anyway I think starting you of on 20mg is way to high a dose-personally.
One thing I will say for my Pdoc is that he started low & then worked up.
