Switched from ritalin to d-amp

[Tevil19]

Hey guys,
I recently switched adhd medication. I had a lot of terrible side-effects(no appetite, weight loss, stomache aches, horrible rebound: anxiety, rapid beating heart). So the doctor put me off ritalin 50 mg and put me on dextroamphetamine 30 mg.

It has only been a few days but this substance makes me feel very relaxed in mind and body. Good motivation to get things done(especially the ones that require concentration) no appetite surpression. The rebound is so easy that I'm not even feeling coming down at all. Maybe because late night I am not working or studying. I do feel washed out a little. But it is so much better than with ritalin. So I am glad I found something that works for me.

Are there any ways to minimize brain damage and tolerance? Would it be okay to take the weekend off and let the brain replenish? I have a healthy diet with lots of vitamins. I exercise regularly. Any tips that helped you or things I should stay away from?

Thank you all!

Continue with the exercise and vitamins, make sure to drink plenty of water and eat 3 meals a day. Take weekends off and any other time you feel possible to take off. Take magnesium with it for tolerance and take anti-oxidants/cannabis for protecting the brain from neurotoxicity.

Are you suggesting to use cannabis during or after d-amp? Has it been evidenced that cannabis helps the brain protect against amphetamine-related damage?

If you smoke during the effect of amphetamine it'll make the experience a little more manic but it works either way, and yes there have been studies.

careful with the dex. its a very potent and pure amphetamine. beware of the comedown after continual use. but i agree, ritalin is a strange and complicated one.

I have had a few horrible comedowns from street amphetamine(50:50 - levo/dex, and caffeine and other binding agents), but they weren't near as bad as I had with ritalin. Terrible anxiety and uneasiness, I'm surprised it didn't trigger a panic attack. I'm aware that dex is an extremely powerful and potent stimulant. A little bit too much can provoke a terrible comedown. Btw, I'd prefer dex over racemic amphetamine at all times.
