A possible 10 to 25 time increase in the chance of liver failure is a pretty good reason. It had really fallen out of favor anyway, it wasnt a huge loss. I am not aware of its superiority to amphetamine or methylphenidate but going to check.
And methamphetamine doesnt carry the hepatotoxicity risks even remotely like pemoline, so why shouldnt it be available. It has very little use anyway, too. In 19 years in the pharmacy business, I have never seen a single prescription for Desoxyn.[/QUOTE>
I've seen 4 or 5 scripts for Desoxyn aka METHAMPHETAMINE from my buddies after none of the other ADHD meds worked. Only thing with DESOXYN is that they are only 5mg pills and I believe youre only allowed to take 4 a day (which isnt that much). So its pretty much impossible to get bent on Desoxyn, unless u were to take the whole bottle which I WOULD NOT recomend. However, the "high" is alot more CLEAN than say a Ritalin or Adderall.
