Dexedrine is a central nervous system stimulant that became popular in the late 1960s for its ability to suppress appetite and help people lose weight. It was later introduced to college students who used the stimulant as a study aid since it could sustain energy and keep them alert throughout the night. But despite the fact that Dexedrine increases energy and deceases weight it is a highly addictive drug that can cause serious complications such as increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Dexedrine Detox & Withdrawal Symptoms
The best way to treat a Dexedrine addiction is by entering a Dexedrine detox program that will minimize and manage the withdrawal symptoms. Dexedrine addiction withdrawal symptoms include but are not limited to:

Dexedrine detox usually lasts 7 to 10 days and patients will be given detox medication that will minimize the withdrawal symptoms.
