Thanks, that's a very helpful post.

On the other hand, I have to say, Nardil does seem to affect me (subjectively) like speed. I haven't taken a lot in my life, but I did take a little decades ago.

I was in the Army (in Vietnam) and I'd pull CQ duty every once in a while, which means staying awake and alert all night to check the guard posts, check radio communications periodically, and operate the radio in case of trouble. This after a full hard day of work. Most of us would take speed, as staying awake/alert was obviously a high-stakes proposition. (Not to mention that going to sleep would have constituted a felony.)

Anyway, I do subjectively feel some "speed" component to Nardil. In fact, sometimes I wonder if that is the basic therapeutic effect in my case. Which worries me a bit, considering the deleterious long-term effects of amphetamines and other "speed" drugs.
