I got prescribed 15mg Dex ER yesterday. Today was the first day I took it. I am pretty naive too stimulants. I was taking Dex 5mg IR since Tuesday and got bumped up to 15mg ER today.

So far I haven't noticed any effects at all. I am still "tired", I feel unfocused. I did take it on an empty stomach and took it with an antacid so my "stomach environment" was at its best and not acidic. (I read that you shouldn't drink any juices while taking it) I so far haven't eaten anything besides drinking a Voss.

So my question is does it take it about a few days/weeks for me to start noticing the effects of the medication? Does the dopamine receptor start to get better slowly or right away?
I will be patient, but I am curious as to how long it takes for it to kick in. (I took it at 9am this morning. It is now noon) -- I know it's the first day, but these are powerful stimulants. I was nervous at first, but right now.. nothing.

I have been diagnosed with ADD and some fatigue problems by my psychiatrist and my psychologist. Both.





I contemplating of taking another 15mg ER. Taking the beads, crushing them and seeing if that will help. Or just eat the beads out the capsule.
 
Are you taking any antidepressants, by any chance?

15mg is way strong for a true first timer.
 
Was taking Wellbutrin 150mg. I Actually stopped it today.

I am not much of a pill-taker. Just because I am so disorganized I know if I was taking all of these medications. I would forget.
I would prefer just taking one medication for ADD and that's it.




I know that Dex isn't the "kick" in the pants like Adderal is. Dex creeps up on you. SO far I haven't noticed a single thing on it. At all.

Does it take a while for it to kick in? Like a week or two until one notices a difference?
 
that would explain it. if you stopped the wellbutrin today your going to notice some effects as you do with coming of any anti dep after some time. when i first got prescribed adderall it was 7 years ago and i started with x1 20mg salt tab dailey, i loved it would lie and say it didnt last through the day every 6 months to a year and its got me to 4 a day. Keep on your doc!
 
Thanks I appreciate it. I hope the Wellbutrin "problem" isn't going to be severe. I talked to my doc. He said it's one of those medications that you don't have to "ween" yourself off.
You can just stop it.
I don't think I am going to have too many problems off it. Honestly Wellbutrin didn't do anything for me at all mentally. Besides the appetite control.


I hope the Dexadrine kicks in. Because I was Insanely frustrated with it not kicking in. I took another capsule. Broke The Beads, and ate the pill.

The effect? Nothing. I feel completely nothing, which is very weird. Considering I am "Amphetamine Naive" and 30mg Dexeamphetamine did absolutely nothing for me. (In regards to Focus/Concentraion, Or Even Any Boost of Energy)

It's the Biggest WTF ever. Has anyone had this problem?
