Methadrine (methamphetamine hcl) is available as "Desoxyn" made by Abbott Laboratories in 5 mg IR tablets & 5 mg Controlled Release tablets (the gradumets were discontinued). But because of the infamous generic name of this medicine, most doctors are afraid of prescribing this medicine.
I found that it is possible to become a "speed freak" on amphetamines like Dexedrine, Adderall, or Ritalin but only if you use them intranasally (snort) them or inject them into your arms (eesh!).
If you take too many orally, they will probably make you feel nauseous & you will throw them up. Plus there is no euphoric 'flash'/rush when you swallow the pill like there is when you snort meth/amphetamines/ritalin/cocaine. So it is quite difficult to get 'high' by swallowing ADD psychostimulants.
The once a day long acting ADD stims like Adderall XR, Dexedrine Spansules, Concerta (extended release Ritalin) are less likely to be abused & much more difficult to crush up & abuse them, so they would be a good choice for former drug abusers or alcoholics if they can handle it.
