Wondering if anyone is able to take long acting adhd medication?

I currently take dextroamphetamine/dexamphetamine and it is working well for my adhd. It also has positive effects on my gastroparesis because I can’t take most of the motility drugs — metoclopramide and domperidone because they effect my dopamine levels and make me feel crap.

Dex has helped me work and stay on task. Also greatly reduced arguments between my hubby and I. I still have a couple of serious things outstanding (taxes), which really stressed me out today and I lost my temper, which I haven’t done since meds got to effective levels.
