> asorry, went from your one time amphetamine dose question to one time methamphetamine dose. in response to this post, the answer is an emphatic yes, nerotoxic and severe degredation in serotonergic and dopamineric activity, references avaiable upon request. one does not find many meth abusers making the rounds of nursing homes or old timer's day at the ballpark, if you catch my drift: it is the ebola of the drug world, with a fast, dirty burn rate that is self-limiting because most of these people end up dead quite soon after picking up a nasty habit. all the best, and best wishes for your friend, i am no expert on intervention but do what you must if your hypothesis proves true......chemist
