Wondering about the side effects of Dexedrine 10mg ER Capsules - Has anyone else experienced the weird side effects?
I've been prescribed Dexedrine 10mg ER Capsules to manage my ADHD, and I've been doing pretty well with it. However, I've started noticing some side effects that I didn't expect, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has had similar experiences. My doctor mentioned that the extended-release formula should help with sustained relief, but I've been dealing with some pretty intense sleep disturbances and unusual skin symptoms. Has anyone else dealt with these issues, and if so, what did you do to manage them? I've also heard about some people experiencing significant heart-related issues or serotonin syndrome—since I've had a history of heart-related problems in the family, this is a big concern for me. I've been gathering as much as I can from this on the FDA's website to help me make informed decisions, but I'd love to hear from others who have gone through the same thing. I'm not experiencing any of the severe side effects, but I'm curious about how others have managed the more common ones like hair loss or weight loss, etc.
I've been on Dexedrine for about a year now, and I’ve had some pretty rough experiences. I've had issues with sleep disturbances, but the worst part was the skin changes—my hands and feet would get really cold and numb at times. I talked to my doctor, and she suggested taking breaks from the medication to see if things improved. It did help a bit, but I still deal with some of those symptoms. The extended-release formula was supposed to make things better, but for me, it just meant the side effects lasted all day. I'm curious if anyone else has had issues with the ER formulation specifically?
I've been on Dexedrine for about 6 months now, and the weight loss has been a big issue for me. I've lost about 10 pounds, which is not great for my overall health. I've had to talk to my doctor about adjusting my diet to make sure I'm getting enough nutrients. I wish I had known about the weight loss side effect before I started taking it. I've had to change my diet completely to make sure I'm getting enough calories and nutrients.
I’ve been on Dexedrine for a couple of months now, and while it’s helped with my ADHD, I’ve had some issues with erectile dysfunction. I was really surprised by this and had to talk to my doctor about it. She adjusted my dosage, and it’s helped a bit, but it’s still something I have to deal with every day.
I had no idea about these side effects before! I'm new to ADHD and will check with my doctor to make sure I'm taking the right precautions.
Can anyone confirm if the side effects are worse with the ER version? I’ve heard mixed things and I’m debating whether to switch to the regular version.
My main issue with these medications is the cost. It's never covered by insurance and it's always a pain to pay for. Has anyone found any tips to save on Dexedrine?
