From Goodman and Gillman’s - The Pharmacological basis of theraputics
AMPHETAMINE
"Amphetamine (racemic beta-phenylisopropylamine) has powerful CNS stimulation actions in addition to the peripheral alpha and beta actions common to indirectly acting sympathomimetic drugs...."
METHAMPHETAMINE
"Methamphetamine is closely related .... It’s pharmacological actions are similar to those of amphetamine, but exhibits a different ratio between central and peripheral actions. Small doses have prominent central stimulant effects without significant peripheral actions; somewhat larger doses produce a sustained rise in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, due to mainly cardiac stimulation....."
"...Dose of methamphetamine was recommended at 2.5-5mg, 3 x daily"
"Methamphetamine is principally used for its central effects which are more pronounced than those of amphetamine".
---------------------------------------------
My personal observations; meth is longer acting, amph. is more ‘whooshy’ as it comes on (the hair on the back of your neck etc), but also makes your skin crawl a bit like ephedrine. These are just my observations - made some time ago - and like any subjective assessment, are open to criticism. And I only assumed what I was being told was the truth i.e. that each substance was in fact what it was claimed to be.
