yeah, it fixed the problem.
But I couldn't take Salagen
with it (don't feel like chancing
heart arithmia) for my dry mouth
with it.So my doctor switched me to
Desoxyn, which has no side effects.I've got a little nausea when I
tried to up the dose by one pill
more (5mg doesn't seem to give
me effect) but I'll trial it out for
a week I suppose, and see if
it works out... after the
first week, you're suppose
to be able to up the dose
to the therapeutic amount
b/c the body's use to it by
then.Unfortunately there appears
to have research only
on illicit methamphetamine
abuse, and not Desoxyn.
Neurotoxicity at therapeutic
doses is unknown, but
at least it's comforting to know
it's been in use since 1944.Narcoleptics have used it
straight on for decades.
That appears to be the most
comfortable indication doctors
give it for, followed by ADD
in individuals who are treatment-resistant
to other stimulants and are
NOT ones with abuse history.It's a serious drug that deserves
respect- I'm not taking more than
5mg/day for this week. And when I
take multiple dosing, I'm not
taking it when it wears off until
it's out of my system-- unlike
Ritalin, which is common
for patients to be told to
take a bit when the drug makes
people feel down for a bit.
