In reply to Bring back Dexamyl !!!! (dexedrine + amobarbital), posted by 3 Beer Effect on February 19, 2002, at 2:08:06
For a few years I was a really bad caffeine
addict, like 12-15 diet cokes a day and then
I would chase this with 6 beers a night just to
relieve my anxiety. I was self medicating my
bipolar disorder.Anyways, after many medication failures, I went
on the Dexoplan formula. At that point I joked to
my friends that my treatment had basically elevated
from taking caffeine and alcohol to tranquilizers
and speed. Anyways, This was the best thing since sliced bread. It really got my life on track
for 2 months. I felt soooo wonderfull. After two
months the anti-manic properties of the Klonopin
started to wear out and the Adderall (i.e. dexedrine)
made me manic and my life spiraled out of control.
I lost 95 % of my net worth on a couple bad stock option
trades, I then abruptly quit my job as I was hypomanic
and felt that I could make a zillion dollars at this
silicon valley startup company (the company got sunk
in a bad tech crash). I told the company I
was signing up to work for that I could be out there in
2 weeks (which was bullshit). It took me 6 weeks and 12
flight changes to get my self packed as I developed severe
ADD symptoms and was getting no sleep. I lost 30 lbs of
weight.Eventually I made it to Ca to start my new job,
but I couldn't find a doctor to prescribe Dexoplan (which
wouldn't work anymore anyways).
I went to the emergency room of a hospital as i was
suicidal and told the physician that I had prescriptions
for the medicines on file for Klonopin + Adderall in TX
and he could verify it and he should fill it for me. He
looked up Adderall and told me " this is methamphetamine"
at which point I corrected him and said , " no sir this is
different salts of levo and dextro amphetamine", he
directed me to the crisis nurses who gave me a sheet
of phone numbers for addiction clinics. I left the
hospital seriously depressed. I slipt into a suicidal
depression, but luckickly finally got the right treatment
(lamictal) and started to get my life in shape. I goofed
up my job in CA but was able to pull things together and
restart a career in Austin before everything fell to pieces.This is my Dexoplan Story, of course other people
might last longer than 2 months. But I must admit
that the 2 months I was on it was quite a blast.
If only they could figure out a way to completely
insure that benzos are stims would not crap out or
go haywire. Some day. Of course other people may
do much better on Dexoplan.Regards,
John
> I think they should bring back a reformulated version of Dexamyl. The original version, apparently geared toward bored housewives or the 'verbally inhibited' contained Dexedrine + Amobarbital (a barbituate) in an extended release Spansule pill.
>
> Obviously, since Amobarbital may have been what killed Marilyn Monroe, no one (except me) would take Dexamyl in its original form so they should come out with "Dexaplon" (Dexedrine + Klonopin), or Dexativan (Dexedrine + Ativan).
>
> Dexaplon or Dexativan would be perfect antidepressants & social phobia medications because their two ingredients cancel out each others side effects.
> I'm sure they would work better & with less side effects than that SSRI krapola they are peddling to patients nowadays- "hey take this pill that takes a month to work & will make you impotent or unable to ejaculate"- now there is an ingredient for a happy marriage!).
