With my sensitive comfort zone, and what i've read, it seems that it might be 'cleaner' for a med-sensitive/resistant like myself... but there is the bad association in regard to methamphetamine ("speed"), and the awkwardness i would feel asking to try it without worrying about sounding 'narcotic seeking'. <--double edged sword IMHO: the more we try to educate ourselves, the more frustrating it is when trying to discuss meds with a professional who takes the interest and self education as "drug seeking behaviour".

> hi escher, from chemist....desoxyn will put you through the roof, methamphetamine is NOT to be messed with for ADD, ADHD, etc. and is prescribed rarely - and most deluctantly - for clinically obese people. i doubt that you could obtain a script, and if you did, it would be deleterious, as addiction potential is way high and you note your sensitivity to such meds....all the best, chemist
