All in all.. I think some kind of sedative, without any stimulants, like valium, klonopin or any long acting benzos on days your not feeling happy, would be a much better option, as long as you take them sparingly and don't get addicted to them aka don't take them everyday.. that is a hard thing to kick. Have you tried any other non-narcotic meds like SSRIs? or SNRIs? and then there is always just good old weed, the all around best and safest thing you can do for depression/anxiety and even pain, in some instances.. THC is harmless, as long as you don't smoke blunts everyday, or joints.. they are somewhat harmful.. blunts especially. But bowls, bongs, vapes, etc. anything that doesn't require more than just weed/thc and a lighter pretty much, is rather safe... and much better all around for the issues you say your having, than I would imagine Dexedrine to be.. now I could be entirely wrong as I haven't tried just dextro-amphetamine before aka Dexedrine.. just Adderall when it comes to pharm stimulant meds, which I take daily and know is not TOO far off from dex, as it is 75% dex-amp and only 25% levo-amp, the only thing making them(Dexedrine and Adderall) really different at all, being the l-amp salts.. I have heard both that the two drugs are very much alike, and that some like Adderall better than dex, while others like dex better than adds.. I would love to try dex, but don't know one person who has it, friend or street connect wise.. and my doctor pretty much said, no way when I asked her to try it recently after taking Adderall 20mg IRs for a year now, I kind of just want to see if there is anything more helpful and experiment with other stim. ADHD meds, than just Adderall, never knowing how they affect me and my ADHD.. she said if I need something else, I need to see a psychiatrist.. she is my sub doctor, so her giving be Adderall along with subs and klonopin as well, is already pretty generous as a sub doctor.. and she and I have a good relationship, that I will not be risking.. but one day, I would love to see how dex and Adderall compare, through my point of view, not just what I have heard so much about it.. and Ritalin, and focalin, desoxyn.. etc.. I want to try all of them just to know if Adderall is really the best thing for the type of ADHD I have..
I wouldn't just hop on Dexedrine before trying other drugs, better geared toward your issues.. any stimulant no matter what, does come with a comedown.. which will make you the most depressed person you have ever been, to put it blunt.. well most of the stims I have tried do anyways, coke being the worst, especially when smoked/IVed.. I have never tried meth of any kind, so I don't know anything about that.. just know that Adderall, does have a shitty comedown, and I would imagine Dexedrine to have one as well, its not TOO bad.. but for someone who is already depressed, which I am not at all, and still get depressed, with nothing to take for the comedown, I don't think it would be the best option, just assuming Dexedrine is similar to Adderall when it comes to the comedown, when it wears off.. If you do try it, have some kind of sedative on hand for the comedown, please! you will need it, most likely.. Adderall, compared to coke and mdma, is nothing, especially since I also take klonopin all day with it.. so it isn't too bad at all with the kpin, but without sedatives like my klonopins.. if I even take a 5mg piece of my Adderall, I am super uneasy, edgy, and hate it.. it turns me into a depressed and angry person, when normally I am not.. with my kpins..
I don't know, everyone is very different with stimulant meds like that.. and like I said, most of those meds are solely geared toward people with ADD/ADHD and narcolepsy.. except for the rare, other things they are sometimes prescribed for.. as they effect everyone so differently.. anyways, hope you find something that helps with your depression/pain issues.. good luck with finding the right med..
