Effects of dexamphetamine
There is no safe level of drug use. Use of any drug carries some risk. It’s important to be careful when taking any type of drug.
Prescribed stimulants work on the parts of the brain involved in regulating attention and arousal (being alert and awake). The medications can greatly improve concentration, impulse control and hyperactivity in about 80% of children with ADHD.5
In adults, attention deficit disorder is quite different —and the symptoms are unique for each individual.6 It is estimated that around 533,300 adults (aged 20 ) have ADHD in Australia.7
Dexamphetamine affects everyone differently based on:
- size, weight and health
- whether the person is used to taking it
- whether other drugs are taken around the same time
- the amount taken.
Side effects may include:
- nausea
- vomiting
- abdominal pain
- headache
- dizziness
- mood changes such as depression or irritability
- increased heart rate and blood pressure
- heart palpitations
- restlessness, nervousness, tremor
- sleep difficulties
- loss of appetite, weight loss or slower growth (including height) in children.3
These side effects are generally mild, and mostly occur during the first few days of
treatment. They may disappear as the body adjusts to the treatment.3
The effects of the immediate-release tablet can last around 4 to 6 hours and the extended-release can last for approximately 8 to 12 hours.8
