Desoxyn 5mg (Methamphetamine Hcl) personal report

Posted by Paulbwell on August 10, 2005, at 18:37:47

When I was diagnosed with depression, I was put on Effexor, which worked for a while, but whose effectiveness faded. Wellbutrin was added, and the same thing happened.

When I was diagnosed with MAJOR depression, my psychiatrist added Adderall. That was the most effective medication, to date, but it too eventually faded, after about 4 months. Then I tried Desoxyn, partially based on the comments on Desoxyn for ADHD, on this website. It was far stronger than I had expected. I had been prescribed 10 mg, twice a day, but I started out taking 5 mg per day, in 4 spaced doses.

I have worked up to about 7.5 mg per day, still far less than what I was prescribed. The fact that I could take much more, and still be within prescribed limits, gives me some confidence. On Adderall, I was maxed out(40 mg/day) and still wasn't getting enough oomph.

It took me much longer to get acclimated to Desoxyn (2 weeks) than any other drug. At first, I felt like my eyes were stuck open, and I wanted my Adderall back. After 2 weeks, though, I felt quite normal. The only drawback I have noticed, so far, is that I have to take my last dose at about 130pm in order to avoid insomnia; so, in the late afternoon, and evening, it is not as easy to function as it is in the morning and early afternoon.

I have no risk or desire to use Desoxyn, recreationally. If I go over my aforementioned therapeutic dose, I get nervous and feel worse. Desoxyn is, by far, the best drug I have tried for major depression. It's too bad it's getting such bad press, these days!
