How short is too short ?
I'm prescribed stims for adhd but it never "lasts".
I don't take any other meds.
I've tried them all (except for Desoxyn).
Currenty taking Dexedrine XR (as needed, once a month (if not twice)).
7mg dose rarely lasts 2 hrs (I'm experiencing the "come down" nearly an hr / hr and 30min after initial dose). (Comedown for me = losing focus, shaky, cold extremities)
I've noticed over the years that no matter the dose, the duration is always the same. (If I increase the dose, i just get an increase in "effects" not duration).
It's been like this with all amphetamine type drugs (Adderall, Vyvanse, Dexedrine). I've tried Concerta long ago but i remember not liking it (felt like i was going insane, maybe the dose was too high).
I've tried Modafinil and noticed the duration is "better" (positive effects are longer lasting) but it's a hit or miss sometimes (if it "works") but the thing about Modafinil is that it doesn't give the same "focus" as amps do.
Does my body just process amps too quickly or something? (I usually take them on an empty stomach)
