For me Dexedrine is the best in every way. The only thing that I think could beat it is Desoxyn which is pharmaceutical grade meth. I've never tried and definitely want to, but I'd never use it regularly because it's a lot more neurotoxic.
In terms of cleanness I'd rank them as Dexedrine > Focalin > Vyvanse > Adderall
In terms of euphoria I'd rank them as Dexedrine > Adderall > Focalin > Vyvanse
Functionally is similar in my opinion.
I don't really like vyvanse but I don't dislike it either and would gladly take it if given nothing else.
Dexedrine, Adderall and Vyvanse are all amphetamines while Focalin, Ritalin and Concerta are all methylphenidate.
Dexedrine is pure dextro-amphetamine while Adderall is a 3:1 mix of dextro and levo. The levo is the cause of most of the negitive side effects and I believe that the only reason it is even there is to deter people from taking high doses.
Focalin is just dextro-methylphenidate so it's basically what Dexedrine is to Adderall, except to Ritalin.
Because of Dexedrine is better, it is also more abusable, which maybe be a bad thing if you are that kind of person.
Desoxyn definitely sounds good on paper, but I know I'd go too far if I had a prescription and for that reason I think Dexedrine is the best stim period. I've been using amphetamines for a really long time and they've pretty much lost all the "magic," but really this is a good thing because I no longer use it to get high and instead use it the way it's suppose to be. Like how living in a beautiful area will lose it's magic but still is beautiful; the high and euphoria are still there, but they're kind of just in the background and the real purpose just become the focus enhancement.
Thanks for taking the time to write up all the info on each one man.. I did know about how each drug name, had what actual drug or drugs in it, like how Adderall is 3 parts dextroamp. 1 part levoamp. And Ritalin is methylphenidate.. Focalin is dextro-methylphenidate... and so on. I have been studying these drugs for the past 2-3 years, on the internet and shit, just trying to figure out which one would work best for me. But was basically just given Adderall IR off rip and never told the doctor to switch me, as it seemed/still seems to work well for my ADHD. I have found out though, from lots of research.. all of these drugs vary greatly in how they will effect one person to the next.. So I wont ever REALLY know until I try them all.
I just want to know how they feel, in my experience if I ever do get to try them... I wish my doctor gave me a small sample pack of each one, including desoxyn, before just putting me on Adderall IR and staying there.. not knowing how any of the others felt.. but I guess I cant be too picky, she is nice enough to prescribe subs, as well as drugs you would normally get from a psychiatrist like klonopin and Adderall IRs no less, not XRs.. IRs, which really surprised me getting these from a sub doctor! I like the Adderall, and yes.. it has lost some of its magic of course since being put on it around a year ago.. but really, it works great for the whole reason why I need it in the first place! My terrible ADHD, that I have lived with for 25 out of 26 years, without meds before Adderall came into the picture! It knocks it down to being hardly even noticeable most of the day while on Adderall, and keeps me normal and much calmer while at the same time motivating me and making me focus much harder, and do better at certain things.. once the Adderall wears off, I don't get a comedown, most likely because I am on klonopin all day too, but I do start to get really hyper and overly talkative, downright rude when it wears off, and a more scatter-brained which sucks.. but it usually works well as long as I have food in my stomach and take antacids prior to the Amp, sometimes gets me a bit high, sometimes doesn't do anything but take away most of my ADHD symptoms.. I just wonder what would work best for me out of them all, as everyone seems to be VERY different from what I have seen with all the different stimulant ADD/ADHD meds.. And Adderall, is the only one I have actually tried as far as the pharm stimulants go.
Would love it if my buddy who just got on Focalin, and apparently hates it, would just let me try one.. or buy one.. but he doesn't seem to keen on the idea.. Also would really like to try them all, like I said before, just to get an idea of which one works best FOR ME.. I just don't want to fuck something up that doesn't need fixing.. like how Adderall works for me, and if I start asking for other ADHD meds, I don't want my doctor to get the wrong idea.. I am just curious to try them.. its nothing urgent. I am in no hurry. Like I HAVE TO try all the other stimulant meds out there besides my Adderall, but purely just something I would like to do.. not something I need to do. I guess, whatever happens.. happens. and I will see what the future holds! From what I hear, Dexedrine sounds much better, not just from you.. but overall from everyone on this site, and that I know who have tried it before! I also hear, its not quite as easy/likely to get prescribed as Adderall is? for the most part at least... but I'm sure it just depends on your doctor really. As lenient as mine is, I wouldn't doubt her switching me.. but of course I haven't tried it yet, don't want to get off Adderall, try Dexedrine and then end up hating it!
