    Methamphetamine is an ADHD drug. I take it for my ADHD, with a legal prescription of course. Ironically it's the most subtle and gentle of all the ADHD stimulants, at least at ther…

    I asked my psychiatrist about it after doing a lot of research on my own. I have tried all the other ADHD stimulants and formulations but it wasn't that none of them worked for me …

    Metabolism plays a big role in determining the effective dose. There are people who can take what are considered high therapeutic doses and feel very little effects because of the …

    Levoamphetamine is more active on the PNS, while not that active on the CNS, which causes more side effects but some people swear by it as being the best medicine. It made me feel …

    There are no negative effects on health by taking them at prescribed doses unless you already have an existing cardiac condition or something similar. You can safely take these dru…

    Very good points. They really make us jump through a lot of hoops just to get the medicine we need to live a somewhat normal life, all in the name of preventing drug abuse. I don't…

    That's not true, I have ADHD and I still feel stimulated when I take my medicine just like anyone else would. The difference is that it also gives me symptom relief as well. Over t…

    Perhaps I misunderstood your comment, you said that people with ADHD react differently and I was assuming you meant they do not respond in the same manor as someone else who just t…

    There is, it's called Evekeo. In the past (up until the 60s or 70s I believe), there was also a racemic mixture available on the market as well.

    As one who takes methamphetamine (generic Desoxyn) for ADHD, I can't help but take issue with the sensationalism in this article. If someone takes the same low dose I do but doesn'…

    This is false and a common myth. If this was true then we would have the perfect test for ADHD, just give someone some stimulants and see how they react.

    It does improve cognition in low doses with very little side effects and no real long term danger unless you already have a cardiac condition. Also there have been studies that sho…

    Actually Adderall is not racemic, since that would mean a 50/50 mix of the dextrorotatory and levorotatory enantiomers. Adderall is 75% dextroamphetamine and 25% levoamphetamine in…
