Question why dextro-amphetamine is so lacking in effects in me. And if the negatives of longterm use of this stimulant outweigh the positives.
Little background info used illegal (presumed) racemic amphetamine sporadic in the past, with great effects. As study aid and pick me up and recreational.
Few years later got diagnosed ADD, and prescribed methylphenidaat. This had profound effects at dosages as low as 5 mg but the side effects were equally profound, vasoconstriction/ intestinal/ heartrate and sweats to name a few. But almost worthless as study aid. A slow release of the dextro isomer could maybe have yielded better results but is unavailable.
Again few years and psych's later I am prescribed dextro-amphetamine. But now I am wondering if taking this is wise as I seem to get no effects from it whatsoever from the start, perceived effects that is! This for one seems to do nothing as study aid or pick me up. This new years eve for the first time since it was prescribed I decided to check the recreational effects. I ingested 3 times my normal dosage of 15 mg, 45 mg and could not detect any effect on me whatsoever.
Going the other way not taking it gives me no withdrawal symptoms that I am aware of. Obviously it does something in my brain even when its unperceived. It got me out some ADD moodswings when the dosage was upped some time ago. But I am evaluating now if my brainchemistry is preventing any beneficial effects from the dextro-amphetamine. And if the negatives of longterm use of this stimulant outweigh the positives. Any personal experiences of others of this kind are always great to read.
Dosage morning 15 mg, afternoon 15 or 10 mg, 10 or 5 mg at around 17:00/ when felt needed.
