> You can always try using Ultram via day on/day off method (which I've done, before amisulpride) - no tolerance, very effective.Thanks for the tip, but I'm already off it completely now. :-) No sense dragging it out anyway since the tramadol was greatly worsening my fibro pain.
> But I've seen your list of meds - you posted 60 mg of dexedrine. IMO that's pretty high amount, are there any unhealthy aspects of this dose on the liver and kidneys? What do the medical sources say and/or your pdoc?
I think the max FDA-recommended dose is 45mg for DextroStat, but even up to 90mg is common in adults. The FDA dosing guidelines were designed with children in mind.
> Are there *any* side-effects as far as this dosage? I'm very curious because despite my usage of NDMA antagonists I had to start using 10 mg higher Adderall amount and right now at 40 mg of Adderall I think I'm damaging my kidneys,liver and heart (that's probably because I'm paranoid from all the studies done on huge amounts of meth and rats, but who knows).
Amphetamines don't generally seem to pose a threat to the cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic systems except in very high abuse doses. You have nothing to worry about. It's methylphenidate that's dangerous this way (especially to the heart).
As far as side effects at 60mg dextroamphetamine, I can't say I've noticed any. Unless you consider greatly increased motivation and interest in life to be side effects. :-)
Actually though, I think I'm switching to Adderall (immediate-release) when I see my pdoc again in a couple weeks. I found a 30mg Adderall XR just laying around on the floor (go figure -- it's been more than a year since I last took the stuff, lol) the other day and after crushing up the beads and just parachuting the powder, I found that it was soooo much better than dextroamphetamine. I used to pick on Adderall because of the added peripheral effects of l-amphetamine, but it turns out that added physical energy was just what I needed, lol. Hell -- it even reduced my fibromyalgia pain by about HALF! Who woulda thunk?
