A member asked:

I take 10mg dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) tabs 3x a day. i ran out but have a bunch of 5mg tabs left. can i take 2 5mg tabs till i get my 10mg tabs refilled?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Although it is best to check with the prescribing physician, taking two of the 5 mg tabs should approximate the effect of one 10 mg tab.
