i suffer from ocd daily with the checking and rechecking things in my house and car.....i have used dexedrine in the past for several years and have recently been using caffeine to help but it actually is making my add worse.

i'm scheduled to see a doctor in a few days and was wondering if anyone has ocd and has benefited from either of these medicines?

i have used adderall xr and dexedrine sr in the past but that was when it was prescribed in the past. either way neither one of them ever lasted past 1 or 2 in the evening.

so i came up with possible dosing regimens i m going to ask my doctor about

1. 6 am - - 20 mg adderall xr //1-2pm - - 20 mg adderall xr

or

2. 6am - - 15 mg dexedrine spansule//1-2pm - - 15 mg dexedrine spansule

or 6 am 30mg dexedrine spansule

im getting ready to start school up again so my days are never over at 5 pm...i have used 5 mg dexedrine and 5 mg adderall before but they were too up and down for me and would rather just use extended release versions that wear off around 8 or 9 pm at night

any input aobut the dosing regimen that someone has used and wther or not it has worked for them along with advice about whether one o fthese meds is better for add with ocd would be greatly appreciated?

I take 10 mgs of short acting dexedrine and 30 mg of the spansules at 6-7 am and at 12-1 I take 10 mgs of short and 15 mgs of long and it works well ratiowise for me... but I don't have ocd and adderall effected me like i did have ocd... hyperfocusing on one topic per day a ' routine'
