I've taken both ritalin and dexedrine and was never able to distinguish much of a difference between the two. I have always just considered them both on a sort of amphetamine continuum with coffee on one end and cocaine or meth on the other end. Ritalin and dexedrine, from my first-hand experience, would fall closer to the cocaine end of the spectrum.
The US government, btw, still gives dexedrine to fighter pilots to stay alert and focused for their missions. They gave it to all soldiers in Vietnam, as I learned when I showed a dexedrine pill to my high school english teacherwho was also a Vietnam vet. He said "hey I remember that . . ." .
