I'm responding to another thread post here: In order to
prevent neurotoxicity altogether: Case 1 - You use (non-substituted)
amphetamines at therapeutic doses (the larger of 60 mg or 1 mg/kg (i.e. a kg of your body weight) of amphetamine salt, not including Desoxyn (methamphetamine hydrochloride)) Then: Don't do anything and stop worrying about neurotoxicity. This isn't even an issue at twice this range. Case 2 - You use
methamphetamine at therapeutic doses (includes Desoxyn, Vicks Vapoinhaler, and their generic equivalents) Then: Switch to Adderall, dextroamphetamine, or lisdexamfetamine. For the inhaler, use decongestants with active ingredients that don't include "levmetamfetamine" (levomethamphetamine). Case 3 - Use of
designer substituted amphetamines (any dose; ex: bath salts) OR recreational use (anything greater than 2.5x max daily therapeutic dose) of amphetamines, or use of ecstasy (any dose) Then: Stop that shit. That's all there is to it. ____________________________________________ Regular amphetamine is not going to cause neurotoxicity at therapeutic doses. If you don't agree with me, read the links in this sentence and the cited sources with regard to the
neurotoxic as well as neuroprotective/neurogenerative (sections:
[1] [2]) properties of amphetamine. It took hundreds of hours to research and write that page. There's some additional evidence in my previous posts in this thread which isn't included in the wikipedia article; this is due to wikipedia's strict citation standards for medical articles. Some of my previous posts include dose comparisons to those used in animal neurotoxicity and new primary research on humans which hasn't yet been included in a review of literature. Also, don't infer from this post that using between 1x-2.5x the maximum therapeutic dose is a good idea. The risk of addiction is dose dependent and the benefits of amphetamine decrease above an optimal dose (unique to each individual, varies a little w/ tolerance).
