hi ed~
I really believe that many patients/people/docs, etc. may be under the false assumption that methamphetamine is the most potent and 'out there' stimulant around, due to the catastrophic damage amatuerly produced 'crystal meth' has wreaked in its (at least USA) pandemic presence during the last 15 yrs. or so. Of course, they are smoking and shooting the homemade concoction, and at rather large doses, so I've read.
But, I'm no pharmacologist, so just a guess.
Do u know if it really is a 'bigger CNS gun' than any other of the amphetamines that r more often prescribed? Meaning, in comparison to, say, Adderall or dexamphetamine (dexedrine)?
And, have u any personal experience w/stims? I do not remember ur dx (sorry) and u are in the UK, right? Aren't stims pretty much 'verboten' there, at least for adults?
Just curious.well~back to packing & hauling~in the midst of a major move~in town~but, separating from my husband.
It's a jolt~but~ a much-needed one.
cheers~xana
