"Anyone been on treatment longer than 10 years or more?"
I know a fellow in his 60's who has been on Desoxyn (medical Methamphetamine Hcl) 60-80mgs daily for 45+ years, and he has suffered no Nurological damage from this, also two women who have been on 60mgs daily Ritalin (Methylphenidate Hcl) 40+ years, again, no Nuro damage
*Properly perscribed*, *properly managed*, **and** *properly taken*, medical Psychostimulants are very safe, for *most* people who require them
I hope this reasures you, as it did me.
Cheers
