>Well,I'm FAR from an illegal meth user. I had a TOP research doctor put me back on Dexedrine (I've been on it MANY times throughout the past 12 years because my symptoms include a strong sense of low motivation, etc (and YES I DO live in the USA). Anyway, when the research doc put me back on dexedrine he had me on 10mg spansules 3x daily. I called him up and told him it wasn't working nad that It was making me cry insstead and he said "Then double the dosage." I was so surprised. I just said "oh--ok." And then I was fine. Eventually he added a 4th dose to the mix.
I'd say 80mg was a bit too much - but I'll tell you all this - the weight reduction part wears off 0 I GAINED weight on Dexedrine.
