Stimulants Desoxyn - is it racemic or dextro?

[the_void]

Hi there , is Desoxyn racemic methamphetamine or d-meth ? I read conflicting things on this topic .

I believe that Desoxyn is dextromethamphetamine. As the pills only come in 5mg dosages, having racemic meth would essentially cut the dose in half, allowing only 2.5mg to be effective. I'm 90% sure of this but I'll find a source for you and post it here.
