> But i have described him this paranormal phenomenaon of how dexedrine seems to stablize my thought patterns, from complete chaos to a...... reenforced grip on them, a strong feeling of " I am in control, and nothing is going to stop me" very very odd, we disscuessed much, asked me repeated times "are you sure, becuase this medication excacerbates psychosis and other disorders",
> I know Dexedrine increases dopamine levels which dopamine increases drive, and maybe a sense of control.This is just my experience but I used to take speed occasionally and certainly it does give a feeling that you are in control and confident and sorted. BUT its just a drug effect. From the accounts of people around me although to me I thought I was intelligent and articulate whilst on speed to them I was babbling nonsense. In comparison whilst on antipsychotics I often think I am dull and quiet unyet the same people think I am pleasant, interesting and tolerable. I guess I am saying that the way we feel about ourselves on a drug and the way we are perceived can be very different, I would also say (as I tried to in my last post) that antipsychotics are very varied and just because one is intolerable doesnt mean all will be.
