Is Caffeine bad with Dexedrine?

Posted by 3 Beer Effect on April 4, 2002, at 22:57:29

I've been taking a 1/2 dose of No Doz Caffeine 100 mg with water about a half an hour after I take 20 mg of Dextrostat (which is exactly the same as Dexedrine/d-amphetamine but is available in 10 mg tablets) with water one hour before work on an empty stomach in order to increase the ability to handle the mental exhaustion required by my job.

I am trying to avoid anything acidic so the Dextrostat (basic/alkaline) will work better & will quickly pass into the small intestine (which is a basic environment) without being destroyed by too much stomach acid & also decrease urinary excretion of the drug which is potentiated by anything acidic like Colas or fruit juices & I don't like coffee anyways.


Anyways, smaller doses of Caffeine like 100 mg release dopamine into the prefrontal cortex of the brain so I figured this would be a good agent to augment the Dextrostat during my job which is mentally exhausting & stressful. But then I read Caffeine increases gastric stomach (acidic) excretion, so am I increasing of decreasing the effects of Dextrostat/Dexedrine by taking it with 100 mg Caffeine?

How long does Caffeine last? All i've found out is the half life of Caffeine is 3 to 6 hours which is such a wide range that I can't tell when to take the next 100 mg dose at work.

Also, is milk acidic or alkaline? Also, is sweetened Iced Tea without lemon acidic or alkaline? I'm getting tired of drinking just plain water & nothing else all day.
