To l-amphetamine? Shoot, that's not interesting at all! :b L-amphetamine would be the non-psychoactive isomer if I remember right; it won't do anything 'cept maybe clear your sinuses a bit. In the U.S. you can buy l-methamphetamine over the counter in Vick's inhalers. (They put "levmetamfetamine" on the side, lol.)
Even if it were psychoactive, and the amphetamine were a part of its effectiveness, I wouldn't worry about it. People w/ ADD take stimulants for years with little problems with tolerance - sometimes they might need a holiday but the tolerance is not always so profound as the media might have you believe.
