Dying jealous of your Desoxyn rx, I've been on Dexedrine my whole life (after trying everything and always crawling back to it) but my shrink would never let me try Desoxyn.

Desoxyn is not front of the line because it's literally methamphetamine lol.

Personal note, if I had to go back to a amphetamine other than Desoxyn I would go back to Dexedrine. Honestly you are not missing much between Desoxyn and Dexedrine other than the PNS is a little more stimulated with Dexedrine. Desoxyn does have some serotogenic effects so it does cause a little more of the calming effect that these meds have on those of us with ADD and ADHD.

In several studies it has been shown that methamphetamine is no more of less additive than dextroamphetamine the main difference is that methamphetamine crosses the blood brain barrier more efficiently than dextroamphetamine so there is less in the body to stimulate the PNS and more in the brain to stimulate the CNS. 10mg of Desoxyn is more effective for me than a 30mg dose of Adderall.

At same doses methamphetamine is stronger but generally in therapeutic doses one will be prescribed 1/3 to 1/2 the dose of amphetamines.

Also to note, Desoxyn is pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine it is not street meth and certainly not crystallized meth. It is a disservice that even some MD's view this stuff in the same light as street meth.

As far as your doc, go in informed, and state your case, I talked to my doc, it helps that my wife is a MD as well, so I have a lot of access to medical journals to research. I went in with the info, presented it to my doc and told him that I would like to try Desoxyn because PNS stimulation has been an issue for me on many of the other drugs and basically I told him, look if I have to choose between my mind and my willy, old willy is going to win every time. All of the other meds worked well for me as far as ADD was concerned, but living with drug induced impotence is certainly going to create other psychological issues down the road and when you combine it with the fact that most of this class of medication increases my drive, it is a recipe for disaster. I just went in, armed with information and laid out the case for what I wanted to try to see if it would eliminate another potential issue from manifesting. If your doc won't listen to reason, find another doc, above all you should be the biggest advocate for your health.
