Dexedrine tablets discontinued

Thanks for posting the link. Dexedrine tablets will hopefully be lots better. It has already got approval from fda. There is a list of the active and inactive ingredients somewhere. Dexedrine is Not being discontinued. To the poster who mentioned 20mg Adderall, actually the 20mg tablets are the only ones available according to my doctor. This is going to be great if they start making 30mg Dexedrine IR tablets. Perfect for people who had to take 10 barr tablets and up. Also this doseage makes it kind of impossible for a shitty psych/doc to say that its to much if they have 2.5mg tablets available. I think this may make Dexedrine more accepted. Not that I have had issues with it but I know some of you dont have the brightest docs.
 
there are 30 mg adderall instants.... They are huge and look like suboxone.

and there are 37.5 mg adderall XR's.. from shire only i think.. they are good aswell.

it would be interesting to see a new makeup of dexedrine strength tablets/capsules. ...
 
Third World Country

After years of Concerta > Ritalin > Adderall IR + XR > Focalin IR + XR > Adderall > Vyvanse > Multiple Year Break > A month ago finally landed on Dexedrine IR 10mg 3x daily. Dexedrine is by far the best ADD medicine to date everything else was garbage and literally caused so much anxiety, sweating, rage, craziness I can't believe I waited this long to effectively treat my ADD-PI.

It took five hours today and 8 pharmacies later to find 82 10mg Dex IR out of the 90 I'm rx'ed but hallelujah for those 82. :)

I can also confirm Mikart Inc. out of Atlanta is scheduled to start producing Dex IR. Finally no more Barr. That said has anyone tried the liquid Dex Procentra ? Supposedly of similar quality to the original GSK product.

How has this been affecting you all ? Have any of you switched medications to your pleasure or displeasure ?

Your suppose to take it as you doctor prescibed. It's pretty nice just taking a capsule(or 2,3,4 or more) in the morning and being set for the day. I would definetly not crush and snort them;), even though it's very easy to do, especially with brand name dexedrine, and I most certainly would not crush and IV them, even though you could.Wouldn't want to abuse meds now would we, after all that's illegal.

It's only one of the most fun/abusable pharms out there, so it must be totally useless.
 
My friend picked up a bottle of 180 5mg IR dexadrine tablets yesterday morning. But I'm from Canada where people still get OCs instead of OPs so, maybe thats why.

Edit: And don't bother crushing the spansules up to snort/iv either, unless your a huge dumbass who wants to waste your drugs/are trying to kill yourself by shoving useless binders and fillers into your veins. That being said, what I do with spansules, is crush upp into a fine powder (usually 60mg, but I have a tolerance to amps so if you don't, dont use 60), add about a teaspoon of baking soda, wrap it up in some TP and down the hatch it goes. The baking soda will make your GI tract more alkaline thus giving the amphetamine more of a range to work with (once your GI tract hits a certain ph it essentially resets), and you will end up getting significantly more stimulated.

8o i cant offer any other info other than what the pharmacist said today, which is they are not being supplied. now, does that mean supply because of demand or supply in terms of production/manufacturing? i got no info on backorder, since im the only customer rxed them neway its not that, and i got no info on when supply will be made available again, if that is.

please help me out here, cuz i realllllllllly dont like having to take mph instead of d-amp for the rest of my pyschiatric treatment career:

1) FORGET VYVANSE...that being said, are the spansules the only d-amp available or is that liquid form still around? has anyone had success trying it?

2) i kinda hate d-mph but it does the job, tho its volatile and i cant always expect the effect it will have, but for health reasons, would it be safer to stay with d-mph or is d-meth as safe within therapeutic dosing?

3) IF dex IR is gone, is it worth askin to try desoxyn? im REALLY afraid of meth, but is desoxyn actually a good add med and can you still get it RXed?

my condition is managable with stim therapy, and aside from the occassional indulgence of a 3x more than prescribed binge day, i use them very moderately and only when the occassion calls for it (like i havent taken my dex since nye). with that in mind, what would u guys choose in summary? Dex spansules, d-mph ir, or desoxyn and why? (both medically psychatric and recreational pros/cons if u please)

thx
 
The other week my pharmacist showed me his PC's ordering screen. Five or six suppliers were listed, none of them had Dex IR. My pharmacist had been told by a manufacturer's rep that the federally-supervised year's quota of Dexedrine had been used up. So, no more till January unless I could find a pharmacy that had them stockpiled.

Up the street the big chain pharmacy couldn't get them either; they didn't know why. The pharmacist on duty said the quota story sounded plausible.

I'm making do with Adderall 30. But comparing Adderall with Dexedrine is as Thunderbird to Chateau Latour. Still, I need an IR to jump-start my primary anti-ADD, Vyanse. Dexedrine and Vyvanse go together like Nureyev and Fontein. If the reason for the Dex dryup is true, we should all be getting our Dexies soon.

yeah id like to know

1) has anyone been rxed the liquid and is it easily ordered/available with insurance?

2) has anyone been rxed desoxyn and found it as or more effective with motivation and focus/concentration as d-amp?

any anectodes would be good

thx
 
This is why "Dexedrine" is not being supplied right now.
"Officials at the Food and Drug Administration say the shortages are a result of overly strict quotas set by the Drug Enforcement Administration, which, for its part, questions whether there really are shortages or whether manufacturers are simply choosing to make more of the expensive pills than the generics, creating supply and demand imbalances.

The situation has made for a rare open disagreement between two federal agencies."

Since IR brand name Dexedrine is no longer available, what would be produced would be the generic dextroamphetamine tablets. But, because the pharmaceutical companies allot most of their supply quotas to the brand-name equivalents of each drug to maximize their profit margins, generics (of all types) have gotten the shaft. My assumption is that, given the recently tightened quotas given the FDA by the DEA, what dextro-amphetamine is being provided to the companies is reserved for inclusion in Adderall (generic and brand) and Adderall XR (generic and brand), both of which are in extremely high demand at the moment and both of which vastly outsell Dexedrine. It makes sense, from a profiteer's perspective. I think the situation represents a dual legislative sickness, personally.

I can't take amphetamine salts (Adderall) because of deleterious PNS side-effects caused by the levatory isomer of amphetamine; therefore, I've been taking dextro-amphetamine 10mg IR tablets TID for years now. Due to the above scenario, which began September 15th, 2011, I could neither move down to Adderall nor remain constant with Dexedrine, so I begun Desoxyn treatment. Began at 5mg BID, moved to 10mg BID; would not go any higher than that, speaking for myself.

Comparatively:
1.) Concentration
a.)d-AMP: 7.5-8/10
b.)d-METH:9+/10

2.)Motivation
a.)d-AMP: 8/10
b.)d-METH: 8.5/10

3.)Absence of negative side effects
a.)d-AMP: 7-7.5/10
b.)d-METH: 10/10

4.)Duration of IR formula equivalent dosage
a.)d-AMP: 4-5 hrs
b.)d-METH: 6-8 hrs

*The above comparisons are purely my anecdotal experience; I'm in no way advocating one over the other, but my experience would suggest that Desoxyn is superior to Dexedrine - and I say this having known and loved Dexedrine for a long, long time. Hope this provided some insight.

My apologies, man; I made this post without first reading that you'd already offered up this bit of information ;)

There is just a nationwide shortage on all amphetamine salts and ritaling medication. They didn't allot enough per-cursors to meet demand. I held on to my script 21 days before finding a pharmacy with my medicataion for 90 Dexedrine IR 10 mg. So they are still out there.

Yes they are I got finally back on 90 10mg IR dexedrine (dextroamphetamine generic) tablets a month on the 6th of this month... I forgot how much cleaner and less of a push there was... today in a ten hour period I dosed 100mg and I'm seriously considering eating 50mg or so tomorrow as I feel I wasted a lot of the script and am down to 16 pills till two weeks from now... no insurance costed me 35 bucks and shit I got it after only calling two walgreens and all the others will order it for you if you got the script. But it still exists... I'm blown away at how much I can take (been on amps 7 years abuse, use, and all you can think of) even compared to the spansules these are so clean I feel almost scared shitless at the amount I can consume. It's so fucking subtle I just keep eating them and am able to eat as much food as I want and not feel ANY negative side effects or chest pains or anything unwanted like anything else I have been on in the last decade....

I'm from a northern suburb of Chicago and got them right away like as immediately as the fucking immediate release of the medication... that is how quickly I located them so to speak. cheap as fuck and like I said I'm blown away at how much can be consumed it scares me but in a good way almost... and I have taken dexedrine before just not the tablets till last weekend... I think I'm in for one hell of a beautiful addiction (again) with these... I thought it was just tolerance but wow they are fuckin cleaner than clean. But 100mg a day for a couple weeks straight (sleeping and eating included) just still can't be good I don't care if the levo isomer is intact or not... maybe I'm wrong but I think it's just because the smaller dose per pill means more pills making is SOUND worse... whereas before with vyvanse, adderall, or any of that garbage even the spansules the dose is bigger per pill so your mind is like wow 10 pills... there is a lot of variables with this one but it just seems way too good to be true...

I would like to try desoxyn but its gotta be like vaya said and just that much cleaner and better than THIS even though the dexedrine IR tabs are a gift compared to all others I have had but they are so subtle it's hard to tell what dose to take I just feel like I'm going to end up hurting myself because its so easy to take so much without the nasty side effects.

Fuck all other preparations of amphetamines besides strictly the d-isomer in IR form.

I still hate reading the line in the pamphlet that says misuse may cause SUDDEN DEATH, lol every month it makes me go oh shit I think I did it this time.

is barr the only one at the moment? Mallinkrodt is only the spansules right? I hate barr... from other past experiences they just suck compared to others, but there is no others i don't think with these is there?

Last week my pharmacist told me Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine sulphate) has been discontinued in tablet form, but will remain available in spansule form. I confirmed this via email to Glaxo. (I'm not sure how much Dexedrine production Glaxo controls these days, but their customer service people told me the tabs were no longer available.)

When I mentioned this to my psychiatrist this a few days later he was upset. Many of his patients were greatly helped by instant-release Dex and now he will have to go with a less effective replacement. (In my case, Adderall, which has worked okay for me in the past. I have been using Dex for breakthroughs in my primary daily regimen of Vyvanse and am confident that Adderall will be suitable for this secondary role.)

As for the consequences of no more Dexies for Bluelighters, it would seem a national day of mourning is in order.

Not true. Teva is the only manufacturer of generic Dextroamphetamine Sulfate in the USA. They are marked Barr, which is owned by Teva which makes the 5 and 10 mg IR. They are behind in production and in back order with pharmacys not getting their full order at the time. Carl

It is not illegal. You have a script for possession of the drug. How you take them is not a DEA concern. Carl

Dex IR 5mg and 10 mg are still manufactured under the Barr name which is owned by Teva. Dr. would much rather give you Dex instead of Meth, because of the stigma around meth. Carl

The only dexedrine I've been scripted were the barr 10mg IRs, but thank god I've been off dexedrine for years, finally settled with desoxyn, much less side effects. dexedrine made me really tense =\ I won't miss it.

I don't know about canada, but here in the US the spansules have two types of beads, one immediate release containing sugar and dexamp and another with hard spheres that contain rather pure dextroamphetamine.You could sieve out the xr beads shells.I find barrs have more binders and are harder. Though you're right about shooting many brands because some contain talc.Also the baking soda method does work pretty good too.
 
Barr Dexedrine 10MG IR is around but you may have to look from it.

My original post vanished, so here is a shorter version. My pharmacist still insists dexedrine isn't available but I got 120 Barr IR 10MG at the pharmacy down the street. When I can't get dex I settle for Adderall, but don't like it as much. Dexedrine is smooth and serene, as good speed should be.

Along with the dex I take two 70MG Vyvanse daily, one in the morning, the other around noon. It's a nice way to start the day, especially with a dexedrine chaser. After two years the Vyvanse euphoria is gone. I feel a healthy normal. These meds CURED my lifelong dysthymia and monthly major depressions. (Anti-depressants, all of them, did nothing.) Thanks to Vyvanse and dexedrine I can enjoy life :D. But don't worry, haven't regressed to become a blissed-out, non-stop-jabbering speed freak. :!

Keep in mind your doc is not supposed to prescribe dexedrine for depression. The only "legal" use for it is ADD or narcolepsy. I've discovered I have a bad case of ADD. ;)
