> Just saw this posted somewhere else. what do you guys think of this? I am interested in stims but this kind of thing makes me nervous. I already suspect wellbutrin might be frying my dopamine receptors.

These animal were injected with high doses of methamphetamine--more powerful than the dexedrine you get for depression. I took dexedrine for a few years and it was okay, but eventually it just made me feel too strange and I stopped taking it.
(The article was about the affect of politics on publication. I always thought Science was a peer-reviewed journal--how could they miss such an obvious error? )
As far as brain damage goes--I think I'm brain damaged but I don't know if it's from my underlying disorders, whatever they are, or from the drugs I've been taking for the past 15 years. I don't think either wellbutrin or dexedrine was particularly bad for me. Effexor was the worst.
