mmcconathy, I thought that adderall was 50 - 50 d and l amphetamine? Are you sure about this 75 - 25? This would make more sense, but then based on what you say that l amph. has no mental effects, I wonder why they would bother putting it in an add treatment at all.
Anyway to answer the question, Im taking adderall now and I like it better because I feel it where I didnt really feel dexedrine. However, I take 30 mgs adderall and at times at least, was only on the 15mg of dex a day so this is not a completely fair compairison. However, 2 15 mg split doses still wasnt as good, tho that was long ago, and im much more in tune with drugs effects then I was back then.
I like amphetamines quite a bit better then ritalin because they dont cause as much ruminating, anxiety, perfectionism, etc... cause more appetite loss,(could be prob. for some obviously) and possibly due to or tied in with anxiety being lower are just more effective at helping me concentrate. The XR versions (all Ive tried) last looonngg tho, maybe even 14 - 16 hours so for me I take it the moment I wake up or really just cant, or at least shouldnt. Theres a reason Im typing this at 4:00 AM:) Viel gluck (good luck in german)Tom
