Re: First timer trying Dexedrine, what to expect?

[Anonymous]

Before starting any medication, speak to your doctor about the expected outcome measure. Sometimes it is the number of pages you can actually focus on in a book, the amount of invoice completed, the length of focus time cleaning, the ability to stay at your desk, etc. Set up a baseline of how long you can do something before the meds start and then retest yourself using whatever parameter you need to. Make it realistic folks. “Want to be a zillionaire” does not constitute a realistic outcome. “I want to be liked” is too vague. In schools we sometimes just ask the teacher, “in five minutes, how many times does Johnny lift his eyes off the page.”

Always speak to your doctor before making any changes to medications. Dr. Jain provides advice generically and not for any one person. Advice does not constitute a therapeutic relationship or promise of care. Please consult the privacy policy for more information.
