The mixed amphetamine salts are designed to produce an appreciably smoother action specifically with less 'crash' not to be any less neurotoxic or safer. They contain a 3:1 ratio of d and l isomers. Thus 3/4 of the drug is d-amphetamine, better known as dexedrine or speed which remains a highly addictive and dangerous drug guaranteed to produce depression in those NOT SUCCEPTIBLE to it. Forget what the FDA has told, data as we know is routinely withheld, i think 'emotional liability' would be listed as more common than 1% in some poor child being given speed everyday.To answer your question, though it hardly seems worth answering given my tone, Yes of course i think that amphetamines are still widely prescribed in the US is a scandal, especially to children and the depression prone. Their use in the UK was ended some 3 decades ago- people were getting worse.
If you think they remain harmless i suggest you research the matter. They damage your brain damage and interfere with your mood, this is not opinion but fact. As far as i'm concerned it's not a subject for which there exists any ground for debate.
