"i&#039;ve taken many different medications for my adhd  over the years, adderall, ritalin, strattera, concerta and vyvanse. dexedrinne is the most effective with almost no side effects. i only experienced slight appetite suppression with it and it never effected my mood negatively nor did i ever feel &quot;cracked-out&quot; on it. i now take vyvanse because the slow release works better with another medication i take; however, i would strongly recommend dexedrine to anyone who is looking for an effective treatment for adhd.
