> > I believe that some of the tolerance I experienced may have been due, in part, to my unruly female hormones. Towards the end of the time that I was on Dexedrine, I had to take estrogen for a week or so for a gynecologic problem. During that brief period on estrogen, I found that I required MUCH less Dexedrine. Several years ago, I read an abstact about women requiring much lower doses of amphetamines when they were on estrogen. Nevertheless, with all the bad news about estrogen lately, I have no intention of going on it for any length of time, not even after I'm in menopause. I'm not sure how I'll manage when I reach that point.> > >> Sarah
**********************************************I just want to clarify something I wrote in the above post. Although I can't locate the abstract right now, I do remember that the women referred to in the above-mentioned study had already reached menopause. They were NOT pre- or peri-menopausal. They were on amphetamines and required lower doses of those amphetamines when estrogen was added. I'll try to locate that abstract.
