    Hello Dr,my aunt was psychiatrist in Brooklyn during 60s and she used methedrine injections 10 mg I.V sometimes with barbiturates,nit sure about meprobamate,to produce an abreaction in tense, obsessional patients. Such patients often have difficulty in ventilating resentment and hostility, but with the aid of intravenous d-methylamphetamine their feelings may be released with considerable relief of tension and any associated somatic symptoms.I think it was guilines also that time,but suggestine was dexedrine.She also said she was prescrobing MAO-A like Parnate with Ritalin for depresson,with caution,off label,without prroblem..

    Hi Doc, I have ADHD, I'm in Japan, and certain medications are illegal here, including Adderall because of drug abuse concerns {don't get me started on the idiocies here in Japan, that's another issue, but anyways}. I just went to a psychiatrist here and he wants me to start with the non stimulants and work my way up to the stimulants if the non stimulants don't work, and he says that using both at the same time {stimulants and non stimulants} is best if non stimulants don't work. Usually it's done the other way around? Anyways I've been started on Intuniv. Wondering your thoughts on that drug and also your thoughts on combining drugs to balance everything out {maybe something to do with too much stimulation can be counterproductive and needs something for the emotional side or needs something to anchor it, etc.}. I notice that when I'm on caffeine my ADHD is super bad, but of course caffeine is a totally different stimulant than the mixed salts. If I tend to go off the track {meaning I either get distracted or I hyperfocus in the wrong directions} while on caffeine, would I also be likely to go off the track with stimulants?

I've been prescribed tons of different Amphetamines but never Methamphe. My doc (general practice).. basically told me I'll have to learn to live with out medication since the amphetamines didn't do much. He didn't want to try the methylphenidate products claiming "amphetamines are stronger so if they don't work nothing will".. it's been very frustrating

I also dont have a hard time concentrating, same story here, its just that everything in life gets boring and i have to force myself. With focalin I can finally work without feeling bored to death. Adderall is now allowed in Switzerland. For good reasons. Its basicly street speed with changed isomer.

Still kinda unsure if its really working as well as it should tho. Like its working but i have no idea whats considered optimal effect.

    I honestly don’t care all that much I something is FDA approved. It doesn’t mean it’s safe, and it kind of tricks us into not thinking about what the drug is and what it does and how it affects us. Not that it means FDA is false or anything, just that It doesn’t really matter to me. I just want to know what it does and how it can hurt me how it can help me and how I can tolerate and recover and mitigate negative effects.

      A guy shared he was helped by adderall, work etc. 2 years on it his dr. Wouldnt refill, said he was addicted. Of course Adderall is Highly addictive, there all amphetamines, black box warning can create heart failure or serious life threatening conditions. Has killed 54 guys, boys since 2016 and sickened far more. Amphetamines hurt your body and your brain. Most of our systems just go along. So maybe be gratefull to your cautiou drs. 😛 That being said do the research and u can discover what naturally works for u. I am a mere 4 months late aware , on 4/30 i corrected my adhd eorking Memory to normal naturally. Added l-tyrosine supp. (Now brand cheap) 1500mg initially then 750 to 1500 daily. Upped my Nordic Naturals Omega 3(quality) to 2100mg (does lower bp so catefull) i have used MCT oil powder coffee creamer for 2 years, easy, Ours brains are fats tyrosine etc needs the fats to work! Mct the healthiest fats. Dopamin !!! Thats the quest for adhd..need that dope not the pharma crap. I already have dopamine, tyrosine in diet didnt realize, but no fucking way can afhd affected eat drink enough gotta supplement..so easy. Plus i smoke get nicotine dopamine instant hits but found a nonprescrip pure nicotine delivery product gonna try. Oh yeah and we got stress so add ltheanine essential amino acid thats tea black or green the caffeine with it is proven to boost effect of ltheanine. This for one destresses an precursor amino acid that like falls asleep with stress byt needs to work to kick the tyrosine. I gree up earlier less people but hellu less stressors..and my adhd autism was unknown so no focus on that, world is insane but you are not, just a minority in a neurotypical majority. Ur awesome. Go natural also avoid chemicals and dtes in foods you are likely sensitive. Best wishes to you mate.
