> I am currently taking 40 mg per day total of dextroamphetamine. One of you gurus told me a while back that dextromethylamphetamine (Desoxyn) is about three times more potent at causing dopamine release, but also powerfully causes serotonin release (sounds kind of like MDMA). I was just wondering whether long term use can cause the kinds of heart valve problems that were seen with dexfenfluramine.
