I've been taking Amphetamine Salts for a number of years now. 10mg 3x a day. My insurance co. in January decided they were not going to pay for me to take it 3 times a day My Psycho Pharm. suggested taking 20. mg. 2x a day. The insurance paid that claim. The same time and for 5 months I started and continued having SALTY TASTE in my mouth, aggitation, not sleeping, freezing cold fingers, and sinus problems. Physician thought I had sinus problems and sent me to ENT doctor who then had me have CT scan. Did show small cyst above molars. Was also put of Prilosec by ENT. He then told me to see Oral Surgeon because he could see Retention Cyst above molars. Out come was do nothing with Cyst's because too small. Salty taste so bad I wanted to jump off a building. The pharmacist also could find a problem with meds. Finally looked up and realized the extra dosage and sure enough I was over dosing.
So I need to up my dose? I started off with Adderall and switched to Ritalin because Adderall made me very tired I switched back to Adderall 5mg higher than when I first started and I am still very tired..
I too get a weird feeling from the xr. I do not know why, my doctor told me that alot of her patients had reported it. So, I am on the regular and all is well again.
