For Desoxyn fans and ADDers alike, here's some good objective info on methamphetamine (Desoxyn).
http://www.inchem.org/documents/pims/pharm/pim334.htm#PartTitle:11.%20ILLUSTRATIVE%20CASES
Note that it also contains a lot of info on street meth, but keep in mind adverse effects from street meth are not consistently extrapolatable to therapeutic use of Desoxyn for a number of reasons.
One is that the onset of methamphetamine is immediate in someone taking it parantally, as opposed to the 20-40 minute onset of taking Desoxyn orally.
Another is that the therapeutic dosage is not equal to the recreational dosage, thus reducing the extent and likelihood of one experiencing the vast adverse side-effects that occur with chronic abuse.
Anyway, the info on the therapeutic use is useful.
