Prevention of long-term negative effects?

Posted by Ame Sans Vie on August 24, 2003, at 6:28:48

I'm just now starting to worry (not much, but just a bit concerned) that the medications I take (Dexedrine Spansules, Xanax XR, Klonopin Wafers, and Ultram) will inevitably cause some sort of imbalance in my brain chemistry. For example, long-term use of amphetamines I believe could lead to dopaminergic and noradrenergic inadequacy (correct me if I'm wrong on any of this). And Dexedrine is really the only one I'm concerned about, actually. I know alprazolam and clonazepam are quite benign (though I may want to add some gingko biloba or something to my supplement regime to prevent possible memory loss), and I can't foresee any difficulties with Ultram.

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas of anything I could take (over-the-counter preferably, but any and all suggestions are welcome) that would decrease these hypothetical risks? For example, could Eldepryl be of benefit? Phenylalanine?
