Dexadrine and temper

by Matthew Hicks, Dec 06, 1999 12:00AM
I have been on Dexedrine now for almost 2 yrs and I do find that I am not only much more organized but also productive.  I have had a very troubling life and it still continues.  I am 23 yrs old and have had to deal with some "extreme" family problems (relating to my younger brother...20...and my parents).  These are currently being sorted out and will continue to be so for years and years.  My Q is if my dexedrine usage is upping my temper...I take a time-released prescription (20mgs in the morn and then 20mgs in the late afternoon.  I cannot function or even have a desire to get up in the morning if I have missed my routine of pills the day(s) before.  I know that I need this and it has calmed my fidgeting down but at the same time I have noticed quiete a disturbing trend to overreact and become extremely sensitive to my girlfriend, family, and friends.  Am I taking TOO much?  I have not self-medicated and wont but I am only 140lbs. and DO have a very compulsive and spur of the moment type of personality.
