Hey I just got a couple of 15mg time-release dexedrine for finals.. I'm more use to adderall so could someone please give me the equivilant of 15mg worth of dexedrine as compared to adderall?

Thanks
 
It should be about the same, given that adderall is mostly dextroamphetamine. I was just switched from 20mgs of adderall to 20mgs of dexedrine, and although my Doctor isn't the brightest guy, I think it was the proper switch.

Adderall is approximately 75% d-amp and 25% l-amp, so that's about 20 mg of Adderall.
 
I found an answer if anyone is interested. Can anyone tell me the accuracy of the information though?

Okay, I have the answer (if my calculations are correct), if anyone wants to know.

First, I looked on the web and found out that 10mg of Adderall contains, when the other components of the salts are removed, 6.3mg of amphetamine (there was a nice chart on some site).

Then, since that’s ‘amphetamine’ base it includes the l-amp, so we have to multiply by 0.75 to get the amount of dextroamphetamine base, which means that 10mg of Adderall contains roughly 4.73mg of d-amp.

Next, since I couldn’t find the equivalent of amphetamine base for Dexedrine, I decided to try to figure it out for myself. I looked up the molecular weights of amphetamine and sulfuric acid and found them to be 135.21 and 98.07. But there’s two amp molecules attached to the sulfate, making the total molecular weight 368.49. Taking a percentage (73.4) we find that the total dextroamphetamine in 10mg of Dexedrine is roughly 7.34mg.

So, if we’re ignoring l-amp we have 1mg Dexedrine=1.55mg Adderall (which if we round to 1:1.5 it makes conversions nice and easy).

So my 25mg Adderall is equal to roughly 16.13mg Dexedrine. So it should be just slightly stronger than the 15mg Dexedrines I was taking before, plus anything that the l-amp gives to it.

And I did all this on Adderall--instead of saying 'eh, whatever.' I think the Adderall is, in fact, working quite nicely (although I kinda miss the greater speediness of the Dexedrine, even though it’s probably better that I don’t have it). One drawback is that it's a good bit more expensive than Dexedrine, and my health plan with school only covers 80% of prescription drug costs, so I have to fork over the other 20% for this and the other drugs I'm taking.

Well as Shameful said, adderall is 75% d-amp and 25% l-amp, so a simple proportion will tell you how much d-amp is in a given dose of adderall. Therefore, I would think that 10mgs of adderall would contain 7.5mgs of dextroamphetamine, which is basically the same answer that they arrived at.
You also have to consider that the l-amp is also effective in the adderall, so you shouldn't really be trying to just take a dose of dexedrine that is equal to the amount of d-amp in the adderall. I would stick with just taking the same dose of dexdrine as you were taking of adderall.

pop 3 to start, all ya need to know.

They are asking for the equivalent dosages between adderall and dexedrine, I don't know why you would come out and say this without knowing any other info about the OP. Maybe they want to use this over the course of a few days, stretching out their limited supply.

Well if you're doing amphetamines, theres no point in not getting high/taking just a little bit, pop 3 or dont bother..
seems most mofuckas dont knwo hwo to do speed proper, not gettin high and shit
 
^ He's taking them for finals though, not for getting high. That's why I'm saying that he'd be better off taking smaller doses for studying for each final, instead of taking it all at once and getting spun out studying for one thing.

A man of my heart.=D
 
15mg of dexedrine is quite a good dose. I've been on the 15mg er's for a bit now cause I hated adderalls come down. Dexedrine doesn't give the same in your face feeling that Adderall has but it will put you on the edge. Dexedrine is way better for getting work done when you have a mind set of getting work done. Most people take adderall because it has more euphoria which can add to the motivation.
 
Dexedrine should be a little stronger and a little "better" especially for studying.

That's a really ignorant thing to say. There's most definitely a point in taking small doses. Some people, like myself, actually use amphetamines to treat ADD/ADHD or to simply get stuff done, instead of just "gettin high and shit". When I take lower doses I get a whole hell of a lot more done and am a lot less likely to just keep popping speed and staying up for days, in which case I probably wouldn't get anything done at all.
