Wow iforgotmypassword (great name). Very cool information.
It's indeed counterintuitive that methylphenidate would be less dirty than dex. I'm in the process of switching from dex to MPH myself, for several reasons - oddly, dex makes me less social, while MPH makes me enjoy social interactions tremendously. Also, dex slows my cognition down at work, I think because it tends to make me anxious in non-routine situations and focus on details too much, losing overview.
Dex works well for praying, and can deepen and intensify things I really care a lot about. MPH makes me feel almost aggressively independent emotionally and is much more cerebral than dex.
Neurotoxicity is an important point with dex. Ive heard too many stories of long-term users who have become tolerant to dex and find themselves apathetic and without concentration without their dex helping them anymore.
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, dexamphetamine 5-10mg, bethanechol 20-60mg. As needed/wanted: oxazepam 5-20mg.
