Adderall XR contains a mixture of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine. Dexedrine Spansules contain only dextroamphetamine. Both Adderall XR and Dexedrine Spansules are extended release formulations. Dextroamphetamine affects primarily dopamine while levoamphetamine affects norepinephrine.
> I stopped that riduclous Vyvanse, got i hated it. It would take 2 hours to start working and only lasted for 7 hours. So thats only 5 hours.

> Well i need some infomation. I'm back on track on taking my medications correctly, and hell, if i do again and mess, boy i'm punish so severely, man i'll make a memory "do not over use". I admit, i've taken the Dexedrine Spansules correct, i just know i'm not on the right dosage.

> The doctor, i sat with him in the session and told him the "Vyvanse" makes me sleepy, and "off". Its "timed released" mechanism is terrible, well for me. Not other people. I was on the highest dose there was 140mg (70mg X 2 in morning) It didnt do the trick at all, it caused more side effects, like paranoia, and "distorted" thinking. Even though it did provide good concentration for about 5 hours, it just didnt do it.

> I finally told him, is there anything that is dextroamphetamine but is time-released? He said "well, there old Spansules that have been used for years". Came to conclusion, told him what d-amphetamine helps with, thinking. He wrote the scipt, and i'll see him in a week to see how the effects are going.

> The effects right now, its definetly more "balanced" than Vyvanse, i'm not anxious, or "odd". Vyvanse was worse than Adderall.

> What exactly is the release mechanism of it? i was on Adderall XR 60mg 4 years ago, and it deliered 2 30mg into the system every 4 hours.
>
> How is the Spansule diffrent? i take 2 15mg Spansules in the morning, like its directed. It's too low, and i still "fall asleep" on it. I've never in the past fallen asleep on an amphetaine. I slept 3 hours when i took it 2 hours later. I dont understand......
>
> So that is 30mg released in what order? does anyone know about this old medication? and why am i falling asleep on it, just like Vyvanse. Its a psychostimulant, it suppost to keep you awake, not make you "light out", there's a paradox reaction happening.

> Does anyone have anything. I would apprieacte it very much. I lost someone in my family also, that i've just been sleeping, and been having horrid feelings of abandonment.

> But that doesnt matter...
