How To Use
- Take Desoxyn by mouth exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Do not take Desoxyn late in the evening because it may affect your ability to sleep.
- If you are taking the long-acting form of Desoxyn, do not crush, chew or break the tablet; swallow the tablet whole.

- Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
- Use Desoxyn exactly as prescribed.
- Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because Desoxyn can be habit-forming.

Thoughts
IN 1999 I COMITTED A CRIME, AS A RESULT I WAS PLACED ON PROBATION. IVE TAKEN A VARIETY OF MEDICATION THROUGH OUT THE YEARS BEGINING AT THE AGE OF 8,IVE EXPIERMENTED WITH SUCH MEDICATIONS AS CYLERT,RITALIN,ADDERAL,DEXIDREN, THEN LAST I WAS PRESCRIBED, DESOXYN I FINALLY FOUND THE MISSING LINK, SO TO SPEAK, MY LIFE WAS FINALLY MAKING SENCE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, WHILE I WAS ON PROBATION,I WAS GIVEN A DRUG SCREEN, THE RESULTS WERE POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE, I HAD A LETTER FROM MY PSYCHATRIST,STATING DESOXYN WOULD CAUSE A METH POSITIVE,MY PROBATION OFFICER READ THE LETTER,PUT ME IN HANDCUFFS AND SAID TELL IT TO THE JUDGE. I STAYED IN THE COUNTY JAIL FOR 3 MONTHS WITH OUT BOND, WAITING FOR MY HEARING, AND THE OUT COME OF MY HEARING WAS MY PROBATION WAS REVOKED AND I WAS SENT TO ALABAMA STATE PRISON (JULIA TUTWEILER PRISON FOR WOMEN) I WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY ON AUGUST 5 2003, I WAS FINALLY RELEASED AND BACK WITH MY FAMILY JANUARY 7 2005. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE ALL THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON, AND MABY ONE DAY THAT WILL BE REVEALED. THE LORD IS THE HEAD OF MY LIFE, AND I THANK HIM FOR BRINGING ME BACK TO MY FAMILY. IM CURRENTLY PRESCRIBED RITALIN AND TAKE IT AS I SHOULD, AS FOR THE DESOXYN ....... WELL NOTHING ELSE COMPARES,IN MY OPINION ITS BY FAR THE BEST MEDICATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF ADHD. AND MABY AS MORE PEOPLE BECOME AWARE OF ITS BENIFITS, THEY WILL BE LESS LIKELY TO BE SO CRITICAL . THANK YOU & GOD BLESS
