Does anyone use pseudoephedrine for ADHD?
It is structurally and mechanistically related to amphetamine.
If I haven't taken it in a while it 30 mgs helps a little. Nowhere near effective as the rx stimulants, but noticeable and better than coffee in my experience. It also helps with my nose allergies a lot. And I can tolerate it whereas I can't tolerate rx stims.
I'm curious to hear anyone's experiences on this.
Also, does anyone know if pseudoephedrine is sold as a racemic mixture? If so would this be analagous to amphetamine where the D-isomer has the strongest central effects and L-isomer more peripheral (in this case clearing nasal passages).
I know sudafed can cause a positive amphetamine test. Is there any conversion to amphetamine?
Thanks, -sat
