I've been on Dextroamphetamine 5mg/5ml Solution for a few months now to manage my ADHD. I've noticed significant improvements in my focus and attention, but I've also experienced some side effects. I wanted to start a discussion to hear from others who might be on the same medication. What side effects have you encountered, and how have you managed them? I'm particularly interested in hearing about any long-term experiences with this medication. For those who have tried it for narcolepsy, have your results been similar in terms of effectiveness and side effects?

The bad taste in my mouth was the worst. I wish they made it in a form that didn't taste like chemical burn. But the focus it gives me is pretty great. So it's a trade-off.

I've had a great experience. No serious side effects. It's helped me with my ADHD a lot. I've had slight weight loss, but not anything that's worrying.

I've had a rough time. Experienced tremors, trouble with body movements and a few seizures

This sounds terrifying. I've never experienced anything like that, but it's scary to think about. I knew that this medication was intensive, but not that life-threatening things could happen.

I was warned about serotonin syndrome and it's serious. I'm on it for ADHD and I've got to be careful with other medications. The Rx site even warns that it can be lethal sometimes. Crazy stuff

Interesting thread. Just started on Dextroamphetamine and I'm already feeling kind of jittery and nervous. Is that normal?
