> dextroamphetamine is good in the start, you feel active, focused, alert. But if you take it too much without breaks, it starts to lower effect and actually reduce productiveness, by wearing down nuerons. If taken daily in morning or afternoon it should not wear you down. I always took benzos after amphetamine wore off, because it made me depressed after all the focus was gone. Dopamine reduction after wear off period. Sometimes i would drink, or have spirits after also
Yeah...I have Vyvanse, almost identical to Dexidrine, and like all stims, it blows the dopamine, and some norepinephrine and serotonin, right the hell out of your sending receptors into the downstream ones, which feels good at first...and as the sending receptor is depleted, the downstream becomes depleted as well. And that is when you feel like crap. For a bp2'er like me, the initial effect is severe crying/anger. I am going through repeated grief, and it is just not good.
Thanks...
