So I asked a pharmacist this question and she basically thought I was asking if I should up my dosage. That's a last resort for me. I want to stay on this current dosage for the rest of my life. I take 25mg Dexedrine ER. I want to know how long of taking it continuously it will take until the effects don't diminish anymore - until I have a sustainable effect each time I take it. Couldn't find the answer online and the other thread is about methylphenidate without asking this question specifically. I also took it for six months before, with a six month break. When I took it for the first time I could tell that tolerance didn't entirely go away but that's ok; that's not really my question anyways.

I know that the effects on concentration are supposed to be continuous as well as that on blood pressure and it makes sense that there's a mild ad effect given reuptake inhibition and more so maoi inhibition.

Perhaps this should be moved to Mental Health or another place because I'm not here to abuse drugs. I guess this is just for people who either don't abuse their meds or abuse them very rarely. Any studies would be much appreciated.

Thanks
