The practical implicaition is to understand the
underlying mechanism so that we can treat
addiction, tolerance, and sensitization to the
medication (in this case amphetamine).Sorry, it is extremely technical, but it is an
area I have been researching greatly because I
have a medication poop-out problem; this cruel
trick where a stimulant or anti-depressant works
for a few hours and then stops. I believe that
understand the addiction pathway and how to
alleviate it will counterattack my cruel friend
mr. dysthymia.And yes ironically
if you need amphetamines for ADD then
probably the article is a tough read!Are you ADD or was that just a simple statement
that the article is a bit boring and complex?If you are ADD do you take stimulants? Do they
always work at the same dose over time?regards,
