In reply to Amphetamines: sensitisation or tolerance or both?, posted by Keith Talent on June 5, 2004, at 23:51:00
> I've read some PubMed abstracts of studies from the New York State Psychiatric Institute that found that tolerance developed only to the euphoriant effects, whilst sensitisation developed to all the other effects (psychomotor activation, jitteriness, ability to concentrate, cardiovascular effects etc.).

Do you have the links to these abstracts? I do not know how to search PubMed for studies by a particular institute. I am very interested in reading them.I have read preclinical data stating that memantine can prevent stimulant sensitization. I have also read AndrewB's testimonials of memantine or acamprosate preventing stimulant tolerance. It almost seems as if AndrewB's prevention of stimulant tolerance could have also been a prevention of stimulant sensititization, allowing him to take higher doses. Oh well... I'm done rambling.
