Well... It seems like my body is really sensitive to dex... I don't like running on overkill all day long... 1 5MG pill in the morning and at noon was ok but still felt wierd... then the doctor told me to to try 1.5 6 MG Pills in the morning and at the noon and it seems like too much. I've been told I can experiment...

I'm just wondering... does anyone here take 2.5 MG at a time? I know it seems a little low... but I think it might work better for me... right now I'm stimulated (cleaning the house... having lots of energy..) Yet I don't feel focused... (I'm too stimulated... can't sit still... I want to move..) So I'm thinking 2.5 MG may be enough to just give me the boost I need? And then maybe take more before any meetings I have... or tests... or when I need to finish up some assignments for school?

Is 2.5MG at a time too low? I'm going to try it tommorow and for the next couple days.

I do it and on some days it helps a lot... I get the opposite problem too focused and no energy... but w/o it I am like "a chicken with its head cut off"

Seems like the drug makes me a chicken with it's head cut off... While without the drug, I'm a chicken who had it's head cut off but after it stops running around and is just lieing there... dead.

well my doctor prescribes 90 mg per day and sometimes i actually need that amount whereas other days I only need a 2.5 mg boost in the AM and function well even w/o it at all. I am on spansules as well my ADHD symptoms fluctuate every day from zero to almost as bad as someone who is manic... (I sleep and don't get grandiose and it is not a mood feature i get actual manic symptoms after 3 days on Prozac-like drugs and that is a different feeling altogether like a war zone or winning the lottery)

Well, I started back on 1.5 pills at a time, as I couldn't cut half... and have noticed I am calming down a bit... I think I will take them as needed, and take less when I don't need them... and not go over the prescribed amount. It makes me feel better than having to take an exact amount of pills everyday at an exact time in the day.

Very odd responce for such a low dose. May want to get a second opinion. If you indeed have ADD you might want to try other drugs such as adderall or methelphenidate. You might find that wellbutrin or stratera are better suited to your brain type than traditional stims.
