Experiences with

Amfexa

Since there is a shortage at the moment and I can't get Elvanse he's put me on Amfexa, which is a dexamfetimine and suggested 20mg twice a day would be equivalent.

I’ve been taking pregabalin to manage anxiety for a year now. 6 months ago I started treatment for adhd using Elvanse/ Vyvanse and Amfexa. My pregabalin just doesn’t seem to work anymore. The dose is currently 400mg a day.

So they then moved me to dexamphetamin, Amfexa 10mg in am and 10mg afternoon . Whilst I noticed an improvement with structured thinking in am , the afternoon dose just made me feel muddled and hungover . The psychiatrist wants me to re start, but with both .

Put me on Amfexa , 5mg twice a day, now 7.5mg twice a day . Seems ok for a few hours then gone .

So , I’m at a loss: I’m also suffering very tight muscle pain in lower back and hips, unsure if it’s the Amfexa . Are there other medications the adhd people could be looking at for me ?? I’m at a loss

It might be a coincidence this coincided with the start of the amfexa, because I think his mind has never really recovered from the original breakdown, but I am worried about him. To me it seems all consuming.
