what is the difference between amphetamine/dextroamphetamine salts and only dextroamphetamine salts?

Accepted Answer

Active drug: Amphetamine has mirror-image versions (d- and l-).  D-amphetamine (dexedrine) is the active version.  Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is a mix of d- and l-amphetamine that has been popular for treating adhd since mid 80's.  The argument--not proven--is that the l-amphetamine "smooths" out the effects, so people are less apt to be irritable while taking it for their adhd.

Accepted Answer

Caffeine is safer: Adderall, dextroamphetamine amphetamine have significant side effects. A University of Minnesota Psychiatry Professor who developed the Test of Variable Attention, a sensitive specific measure of hyperactivity &amp; attention deficit once commented that caffeine will give 1/2 the dose of ritalin. I start with caffeine and move to medications later.
