I know that many amphetamine abusers take Tagamet or other antacids to do this, and then also basify their urine to slow excretion. Why not just raise the dose of Parnate? You can take up to 200mg/day without even thinking about toxicity.

Taking above 100 mg/day of Parnate seems to increase the risk of abuse and tolerance, and I guess I might also be concerned about a greater risk of mania and/or hypomania in susceptible individuals. Cost is another factor and may be prohibitively high, depending on one's insurance. In the US, the cash price for a month's supply of Parnate even at 100 mg/day is approximately $280, assuming other pharmacies charge about what Walgreen's does.Todd
