Dyanavel XR (amphetamine) for ADHD "My daughter HATES the flavor! I can't get her to keep it down for more than a couple seconds before it's coming out of her mouth. I'd rather fight her in getting to swallow a pill than cleaning up the medicine from the floor. Will be trying something else."

"It is amazing drug for depression but after four or five years it will damage the brain and the addict will never be able to stop so don't try amphetamine unless you are ready for the worst .I am addicted to amphetamine since 25 years I am using 20 tablets a day I feel deaf but breathing life has no taste . it gives emotional romantic mood until you leave the reality"

Dyanavel XR (amphetamine) for ADHD "My son is 11 and we have tried multiple medications since he first started school. I was doing my best to avoid a stimulant medication but after years of him dealing with nausea from his non stimulant we decided to try something new. From day 1 we were able to see a difference. He was more focused and had little trouble staying on task. No nausea at all! He also takes a mood stabilizer to counteract the side effects of mood swings he's suffered with stimulants before. Because of our schedule, he takes it around 5am every day but it seems to wear off by noon. He's still moody but I have trouble making out if his moods are from the meds, puberty, the fact that his dad just left for a year deployment, or a mix of it all. We have noticed he had an issue with a dry and sore throat. He has no issues until after he takes it in the morning. Overall, it's better than the non stimulant meds, but I'm still pretty uncomfortable that he's taking an amphetamine medication"

For ADHD "I am on Dexamphetamine got diagnosed with ADHD only at age 40. I self medicated with alcohol for 20 years and was on 5 moodstabilisers. I feel like a reborn person detoxed of alcohol and all meds replaced it all with Dexies and WOW I am alive! It took me 4 months to get used to them. They are a real pain in the neck to take every 2 hours. In 1st 4 months it was hell, I became so incredibily depressed, wanted to jump off a bridge. Interval was too big. 4-5 hours. I pushed it to 40 mg a day every 2 hours. He said You won't sleep if you take them after 5 pm. I sometimes take them at 9 pm and sleep at 11 pm. Sideffect: big ass headaches if I dare to forget my pill after 2 hours."

Adzenys ER (amphetamine) for ADHD "I've recently been prescribed this product because of the shortage in Adderall in the states. This happen some years back when Shire had an explosion in a manufacturing facility in N.C. (fun fact). Unless you are prescribed Dexedrine, almost all the licit amphetamine is manufactured by Shire, who in turn sell it to companies who sell it under their generic labels. Those who swear one generic works better for them than another are probably right, but it has more to do with the fillers and binders in the tablet than the med. Also, the DEA sets manufacturing quotas each year for sch. ll drugs. So there are reasons it is in short supply this year, even though it's denied by the FDA. I can't tell a significant difference between Adzenys and Adderall, but like some commercial used to say, "results may vary". I found your comment about using Adderall as a vasopressor interesting. Way back in the day, Methedrine was used in ICU settings to help pull patients out of respiratory depression."

Evekeo (amphetamine) for ADHD "I’ve tried almost every single combo of ADHD meds imaginable from Ritalin to Dexedrine ER to Mydayis to Guanfacine to Qelbree. My goodness, I can’t even list them all. I have ADHD-PI possibly SCT. I have problems using my brain to think like feel so lazy, no motivation. Dexedrine ER makes me sit still, got rid of my anxiety but did not help with motivation to do stuff I didn’t want to do. I would just feel amped and happy and focus on procrastination. When I take more I get chest pains. Adderall XR/Mydayis made me tweaky and overfocused. I could no longer multitask. Evekeo with 50/50 dextro and levo combo was perfect for focus and motivation! It feels so smooth! No tweakiness for some reason like Adderall. Less focus but more motivation. The only problem is I experience a crash after 3 hours. I can't get timing of the pill right. They need to make an XR of this stuff!"

For ADHD "This has been an awful experience! I take Adderall normally. Doctor forgot to add something to my script and got this. I didn't think it would be different. It for sure is. Headaches, stomach aches and I have no attention span for a week now. I just messaged my doctor after talking to the pharmacist. I guess this is often a complaint. I feel really bad for people who's insurance won't cover the real stuff. Should be illegal to give this to people just because they can't afford better insurance."

Adzenys XR-ODT (amphetamine) for ADHD "I was 28 when diagnosed ADHD, and I was started on 20mg Adderall 2x daily. It worked ok, but it was lacking. I then at my next follow up was prescribed 30mg XR Adderall. She told me if I started to crash take one of my 20mg IR. The 30mg XR once a day, and it worked way better! Well due to a neck injury that happened when I was 19, and 3 levels of artificial discs. She told me that my prescription “credit score” was on the high side. Of course I was open to try the Adzenys. Ok the pharmacy was 45 minutes away and of course they only had the exact amount I needed. So I start this new medication in hopes of becoming refocused, less irritated. You know all the things that come about when you’re unmedicated. I’ve been on this medication at least a week. However, I don’t take it on the weekend. Since Monday I’ve noticed I don’t feel as if it works during the day, but I have experienced the worst insomnia."

Dyanavel XR (amphetamine) for ADHD "My 9-year-old has been struggling with staying focused at school. I gave him a very small dose of Dyanavel XR and it had no effect on his focus. I increased the dose to 3.5 ml and I received a message from his teacher informing me that he had a great day at school. He finished all work in class on time, raised his hand to answer questions, and participated in class discussions. I cried happy tears. He has only been taking it for a few days but I can't wait to see what he does for the rest of the school year. He did say that he wasn't very hungry at lunch so it may possibly affect his appetite."
