First - thanks for all the info. It helps to hear from those you've actually TAKEN them. The web is so full of circular references - you think you've found ten articles conveying the same idea but then you realise 9 just re-hashed the other one or each other...(!).
> Woooah there, this is quite the opposite. The crash from MPH for most people is a sudden hard crash which is extremely abrasive much like its bigger >brother cocaine and people often find themselves desiring to stay at a certain level MPH use to avoid this.Not sure what you mean here though. Unless you plan on not sleeping again, how do you find yourself staying "..at a certain level MPH use to avoid this [sudden, hard crash]"...? You have to stop taking them all by 5pm +or- a few hrs so be able to sleep, right? So how do you avoid coming down?

I'm a bit confused here too. How can Dex be such a widely used treatment if "it doesn't like repeated dosing". I was hoping to just take a little bit of Dex to supplement the modafinil - to give it a bit more power as even on 400mg modafinil I still get yawning & tired by 2pm.
> There is a much higher rate of potential abuse with dexedrine BUT to say anyone who uses it is going to become horribly strung out and addicted like a junkie is silly and we know its untrue. Theres a perfectly well adjusted subsection of people that have been using the drug for years without escalating doses and abusing it.I agree.

Thanks again for sharing.... :)
