I was recently prescribed Dextroamphetamine 5mg Tablets for my ADHD, and I've been taking them for about a month now. Overall, I've noticed improved focus and wakefulness, but I'm also experiencing some side effects that have me concerned. I thought I'd start this thread to share my experience and hear from others who might have more insight or similar stories. I'm particularly worried about the potential heart-related warnings and the risk of serotonin syndrome, as I've seen some scary stuff online. Has anyone else experienced these side effects or know more about them? Also, what should I do if I notice any of the urgent side effects listed? I've been trying to report side effects to the FDA but it’s getting convoluted. I just want to get better without all the scary side effects.

I've been prescribed Dextroamphetamine 10mg ER Capsules for my ADHD and I've been taking them for a while now. I'm curious to hear from others who have experience with this medication. What have your experiences been like? Have you encountered any side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? I've found that it helps with my focus, but I've also experienced some restlessness and trouble sleeping. I'm curious to hear from those who might be taking it for narcolepsy as well. Has anyone had any issues with the medication that they did not anticipate? Another thing I'm really curious about: are there any effective tips for managing appetite loss? Also, I've heard about the potential for serotonin syndrome. Has anyone had any issues with that? I'm just looking for some community support and advice. Thanks!

I was prescribed Dextroamphetamine 5mg ER Capsules for ADHD, and it has been a lifesaver. The focus and clarity I've gained are incredible, but I've also experienced some side effects. My doctor assured me they were not uncommon, but I wanted to share my experience to see if others have similar stories. Has anyone else had issues with frequent erections, or is that just me? I’ve been too embarrassed to ask my doctor about it, but it's been a bit uncomfortable. Also, I've noticed some changes in my eyesight, and I'm wondering if this is directly related to the medication or if it could be something else. Has anyone had experience with this? It's definitely not something I want to ignore, but I've been hesitant to talk to my doctor about it because it's not life-threatening. Any advice on managing this or other side effects would be appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

I've been taking Dextroamphetamine 10mg tablets for about six months now to manage my ADHD. Initially, I was a bit hesitant because of the potential side effects, especially the severe ones listed in the medication guide. However, I've found it to be quite effective in helping me focus and control my impulsivity. I've only experienced a few minor side effects like dry mouth and trouble sleeping, but nothing too bad. I'm curious to hear from others who are taking this medication. How has it been working for you? Have you experienced any of the more serious side effects?
