> I was wondering whether stimulents such as dexedrine and ritalin exibit neurotoxicity in the normal dose ranges.
This is a question of huge importance. It has been a while since I looked into this, but as I remember, it was methamphetamine specifically that was most apt to be neurotoxic. Supposedly, this is a result of its ability to promote the release of serotonin (5-HT). MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is similar in these regards.
