Need Treatment For Adult ADHD Hyperactivity.

I have a recent written diagnosis for Adult ADHD hyperactivity. I was on Desoxyn through my teens as nothing else seemed to work. My current doctor has tried two different adderol s, vyvanse among others and again nothing seems to be working. I am also on a blood pressure med and Lexapro. I would like to be prescribed Desoxyn again as I have had such great results on it before. Can you help me?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Desoxyn contains methamphetamine and adderall contains amphetamine. Vyvnase contains lisdexamphetamine. All are stimulant and from same group. Basic different is in dosage and metabolism in body. In your case, improvement would depend upon the dose of stimulant you will take. I would go in gavor of vyvanse out of three.

Thanks
