amphetamine toxicity

Posted by CareBear04 on October 28, 2005, at 16:45:42

has anyone ever experienced this? i know that the common symptoms include paranoia and psychosis, not to mention increased BP, pulse, and risk of stroke or heart attack. i know i shouldn't take more than my prescribed dose of dexedrine, but i have so much to do at the moment and need to focus, and i happen to have grams of extra amphetamine lying around. the most adderall or dexedrine i've taken in a day is 50-60mg. currently, i take 15mg of dexedrine twice a day. i know that the toxic dose of amphetamine varies a lot from person to person, and i'm wondering how much i can take without overdosing. i'm not very big, but i've worked up a tolerance after being on stimulants for years, so i feel like i can safely take quite a bit. please tell me if you think i'm being stupid and unsafe. thanks.

Are you scripted 15mgs 2x daily Dexedrine?

I know you take many meds, but if you are scripted 15mgs Dex 2x daily, you will run out early, so if you are not managing, check with your Doc.

Cheers
