Hi yappie,

Based on my research, Dextroamphet is simply an abbreviation for Dextroamphetamine; so they are considered to be the same exact medication in that regard.

To help clear up any additional confusion, Adderall is a brand name for the following active ingredients: Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine.

Dexedrine on the other hand, is a brand name for Dextroamphetamine only.

Adderall just happens to contain the two different mixed salts for increased efficacy.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Adderall Details

I hope this helps!
