I'll be honest, I feel like Dexedrine is the best and its also cool to have such an obscure med aha. Why did you settle wherever you did and share your thoughts on the comparative basis

Dexedrine was better for my circulation, but turned me into an emotionless dick. With adderall, I have to pace every 45 minutes but get to keep my humanity. (I did trial Ritalin once, but I slept all day then accidentally brandished a knife at my then-husband while cooking dinner, so my psych told me to never take methylphenidate again.)

brandished knife

Comedown [sucks]?

Any theories on why that is the case? I'm curious to split my script 50/50 (like keep my Dexedrine Spansule script just 1/2) and retry like 20 mg Adderall and see how I do but its gonna be a massive pain in the ass to do it aha
