This is a "normal" response to stimulant use, but I personally don't find that terribly comforting.... Hmmm Sometimes I wonder if I'm not becoming to much of a pharmaceutical pessimist to continue troubling you folk.... Anyway after a good number of years of switching between ritalin adderall and d-amphetamine I personally decided that the physical toll taken on my mind and body by chronic stimulant use wasn't worth the benefit I derived from it. At the very least I'd advise keeping an occasional eye on your blood pressure when the cold extremities are at their peak. Yeah I know, "gazillions of people use the stuff", but I'd still encourage anyone to diligently research the potential longterm negatives to this course of medication, the entire time they're on it.
