    You could but you don’t know the density that it’s packed in. It would be difficult to try and halve them evenly. You would have to get a precise scale and it’s really not worth it. I’d recommend maybe 5 or 10mg if you can get it and it’s up to you and your doc whether to reduce the first dose or just add this booster on top for an extra wave. Probably take 6-8 hours after your first dose? But it depends on when you get the crash. Everyone is different.

    That’s really not a lot considering the high end of doses so hopefully your doc will be responsive and it works for you!

    Edit: also, I don’t know the climate where you are but with first visit to a doc maybe be cautious asking for more directly since they’re controlled. Maybe it’s my paranoia but I know I’m lucky. Just emphasize the crash. Say you’re not able to stay focused throughout the day long enough to complete your daily activities/work (assuming that’s true).

    Edit2: I’m also not sure what connotations “crash” may have so just describe what you’re experiencing.

    I like Dexedrine but I don’t hear it being prescribed as much, probably because it has a higher potential for abuse, so keep that in mind. It’s a shame bad actors can keep us from the meds we need. But if I had to pick one it would definitely be vyvanse.

    Edit: oh and I get the Dex in 5mg, and split them down the middle. I used to take the full 5mg but would get irritable in the evening.
