Dexamphetamine is short for Dextroamphetamine. The prefix "dextro" just defines the 3D configuration of the amphetamine molecule. Adderall is made of 50% dextroamphetamine salts. The other half of Adderall is whats called "racemic" amphetamine salts, which is 1/2 dextroamphetamine (the other 1/2 is called "levoemphetamine"). So, since 1/2 of the racemic half is actually dextroamphetamine, Adderall is composed of about 75% dextroamphetamine salts.

close, Adderall is actually Dextroamphetamine.

To be more accurate, it is a mix of 4 dextroamphetamine salts

* 1/4 dextroamphetamine saccharate * 1/4 dextroamphetamine sulfate * 1/4 (racemic dextro/levo-amphetamine) aspartate monohydrate * 1/4 (racemic dextro/levo-amphetamine) sulfate

one says dextro and the other doesnt.. ive been trying to figure this out myself for awhile now and have seen that dextroamphetamine is a kind isomer of the amphetamine molecule. which says to me that dextroamp is in amp. but then i look up adderall and it says it has both in it.. made me way wtfs the point. but maybe it does a certain thing better for adhd treatment and less for other effects of adderall. this is only the brand name ive looked into because its what im prescribed. ive also seen that amphetamine can be used for other medical purposes than adhd but dextroamphetamine cannot. so when you leave the dextroamp isomer in the amphetamine it does a certain thing and when you take it out and concentrate it and put it with amphetamine it does something else. and im guessing by itself does a third different thing. if im wrong then i really dont know what or why they seperate it only to add it so if this helps awesome if not sorry for wasting your time.

No dextro is a not as potent form. Meth will contain high levels of neuro toxins where as dexto will not because it is pharmaceutically produced.
