I've been on Dextrostat 5mg Tablets for about six months now to manage my ADHD and narcolepsy, and I wanted to share my experience. Initially, I was a bit hesitant due to the potential side effects, especially the severe ones, but my doctor assured me that the benefits outweighed the risks. I've noticed a significant improvement in my focus and wakefulness, which has greatly enhanced my daily life. However, I did experience some initial dizziness and a bad taste in my mouth, but these symptoms subsided after a few weeks. Has anyone else had a similar experience, or might have tips for managing these side effects?

Dextrostat has been a lifesaver for my narcolepsy. I can finally stay awake during the day without feeling jittery. Just a bit of dry mouth to deal with.

I've had some trouble with hair loss since starting Dextrostat. Any tips on how to manage this?

I tried Dextrostat but had to stop because of severe anxiety and restlessness. My doctor switched me to another medication that works better for me. Everyone's experience is different, I guess.

Be cautious with this stuff. I had to go to the ER because of an allergic reaction. It was scary. I wish I'd known about the severe side effects a bit better before starting.

Side note: this stuff is seriously expensive. My insurance barely covers any of it. Anyone have tips on managing the cost?

I had to stop taking Dextrostat because of the erectile dysfunction side effects. It was a tough decision, but my quality of life was suffering. I hope they find a better solution for this.

I'm glad to hear it's working for some of you, but I'm considering switching to a different medication due to the potential heart-related warnings. Has anyone had issues with this?
