I'm posting this as a new thread, because I wanted to make sure ppl saw it. It was at the tail end of a thread on Metformin. The topic of Adderall, etc, does come up as an adjunct to BB when cutting etc.
Word.
A word on Adderall. A DEA Schedule II substance (HIGH potential for abuse and addiction)
Guys, this is pure amphetamine; actually, a mixture of 4 amphetamines (2 dextro, and two plain).
We called it speed in the 60's and 70's. I saw many good people get seriously strung out on it. It is euphoric, gives you tons of energy, nixes the appetite, lets you go w/out sleep.
The crash is equally extreme. Depression, neurotransmitter depletion, hypersomnia, craving for the drug, etc.
Amphetamines had been just about phased out of the pharmacopia due to abuse and addiction; however, w/ the rise of ADD and ADHD as fashionable diagnoses, the pharm companies saw a chance to take market share back from Ritalin (also a II), and several amphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine, in both immediate realese and extended release forms) are now being marketed and widely prescribed). We are seeing a resurgence in addiction; very similar to methamphetamine (add a methyl group).
Be very carerful about this stuff; it is NOT benign.
As for Dr VJ's bros that "LOVED" the Adderall: that's a bad sign right there; most people love heroin from the get-go as well. I don't think I'm being overly dramatic based on what I've seen. I'm boarded in Addiction Medicine.
Adderall is not Schedule II for no reason; this was a rational action, unlike the Scheduling of AAS.
