Working / Worked
Dextroamphetamine along with travel compression socks helps my dysautonomia.
Working / Worked
Extended release is my only option.
Working / Worked
Yes has helped the daytime attacks alot, still present but no where near as bad. Just not happy about the overall feeling of the drug (the high, fake or extreme emotions)... Also the restrictions on extreme exercise capabilities, ie. watching my heart rate and not pushing beyond this for chance of, as they term it, 'sudden death'.....

ON DEXEDRINE FOR 30 YEARS WITH NO IDENTIFIABLE NEGATIVE EFFECTS. PREDICTABLY, OVER THE YEARS, THE DOSAGE HAS INCREASED. AT THE PRESENT TIME, I TAKE 90 MG. A DAY. THE SLEEP NEUROLOGISTS SAY THIS EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH DOSE IS "WELL TOLERATED" AND I LARGELY AGREE AS I AM FUNCTIONING MORE OR LESS EFFECTIVELY WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF MY CURRENT LIFFESTYLE. UNDEMANDING LIFE
Working / Worked
HAVE BEEN TAKING DEXEDRINE SINCE I WAS DIAGNOSED 30 YEARS AGO AND IT IS STILL AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR ME ALTHOUGH MY DAILY DOSAGE HAS HAD TO BE INCREASED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS.
Working / Worked
Can not really say it is work, but i am not as tired as I was on Adderall.Still have Cataplexsy
Working / Worked
I was diagnosed w/ Narcolepsy 5 years ago, a few months after the birth of my first baby. Since then I've mostly been on dexedrine, which is the most effective for me. Slow release doesn't work as well and I'm slowly starting to notice an immunity to my dosage.

ok works some of the time
