> Utopizen, I beg to differ with you. I think that the amphetamines can be - and are - very useful; however, Desoxyn, which is methamphetamine, is notorious for its neurotoxicity and should be used ONLY in the most severe, treatment-refractory cases. Long ago, methamphetamine was thought to be a safe drug. Now we know better. These days, Desoxyn/methamphetamine is used in research to create animal models of Parkinson's Disease and Schizophrenia.

Oh, a little Desoxyn never hurt anyone. Animal models poo-ee. The levels that would cause parkinson's, are you kidding me? Desoxyn is regularly prescribed to children in this country.

I took it for a month, my doc let me try it to see if it would not make me as anxious... it did anyway, so I switched back to Adderall. If it was neurotoxic at therapeutic doses, the FDA wouldn't allow it-- and it certainly is not in the PDR, so you must "know better" than my doctor if this is the case.... where are you getting this info from? That's quite a charge against a widely used drug.
