I have inattention type ADHD. I was finally diagnosed about 8 years ago (I’m 28 now). I’ve been hesitant to medicate it because I’ve been passably ok without drugs. I tried Welbutrin once but hated it. I decided it’s time to medicate it because I’m in grad school and having serious focus issues, and I’m sick of other areas of my life are kinda out of control.

I got put on Dexadrine. Holy crap, I feel a difference after just 2 days. Some of the effects are great- I cleaned my apartment, did a lot of reading, my normally huge appetite is almost gone. But I’m also feeling kind of warm, and I’m really talkative and I feel like I just can’t get enough done fast enough!

I’m wondering what other people’s experiences with this drug are. I already googled and read user reviews, but I want to be able to converse about it, not just read.

Thanks!
