I beg to differ. I have used crystal meth on many occasions and have never suffered any negative effects or addiction. Some people can handle recreational drugs, some cannot.People often talk about how addictive opiates are...I have had opiates prescribed to me for over five years for pain and NEVER used them recreationally. I shot heroin once but found it to be a boring experience...
Blame the user not the drug.
Oh, and meth is NOT that much stronger than say, dexedrine. Yeah it's more euphoric but still...the addition of that methyl group does not change the drug THAT dramatically.
To mr.ratt --I think if nervousness is a problem than Wellbutrin might not be the best drug for you. I suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder which is an anxiety disorder as well as depression and I have been taking wellbutrin for two weeks now...I am doing alright now but I BARELY got through the first week and a half of tremendous anxiety. The more stimulating antidepressants are likely to make your anxiety/nervousness worse.
I would suggest that you try upping your effexor dose. I found that effexor worked well but only at doses of 300+ mg daily.
If you still don't find that a higher dose helps, I suggest trying another SSRI, perhaps a more 'stimulating' SSRI like zoloft or prozac before trying wellbutrin.
Just my 2 cents.
