"works well for my add but don&#039;t ever mix with alcohol! i am an alcoholic who comes from a alcoholic background handed down several generations of my family tree. i take my dex. as prescribed (5 mg 3x daily, a small dose by choice compared to 45 mg 3x daily  when i was younger and not in charge of my own health needs) but when i binge drank i would always mix the alcohol with dex. up to 50 mg a night  so i could keep drinking. lost many friends, wife, and the the respect of too many due to my actions, aggressions, combativeness stances and so on. alcoholics beware. i&#039;m sober now and take it one day at a time. i still take my dex. but only as prescribed. i am 35 and have taken it since age 12."
