Does anyone have experience with this drug? i do now... just got it prescribed for my "mild ADD" ........i have never been as absorbed in school as when im on dex..... its dexamphetamine..... which means its basically just amphetamines - speed but it affects ppl w/ ADD differently than most... instead of making you hyper it makes you FOCUSED like a fucking laser..... instead of thinking about tons of things at once, and jumping from one thing to another, your brain just stays focused on whatever you want, 100% (this lasts a few hours for me with a 5mg pill) it basically makes you better at everything... i sort of feel like its cheating anyways its still amphetamines, a stimulant... after those few hours, (for me) it makes you more aggressive, more accute/allert, think faster, and makes it impossible to sleep... ....the US gives amphetamines to figher pilots for these reason (the pilots who bombed Canadians in Afghanistan were on "go pills"... this resulted in some controversy over its use) so anyways whats your experience with dex, or with speed? a friend of mine was telling a pharmacology student that hes prescribed dexamphetamines for ADD... and she was like "what?? are you sure???..... thats basically, exactly, street speed" well its methoamphetamine (or something like that).. so its a little different, and it usually has other shit in it to make you happy and what not |

think of it this way, ADD isn't a disorder or anything, it's just a collection of symptoms. more plainly, it's not physiological, or nuerological as far as anyone can tell, so drugs for ADD is, IMO a placebo at best. I know it works, but taking speed would work to, you aren't fixing the problem, just masking it. |

yeah thats hwo i think of it... just a collection of 'symptoms' anyways im not interested in 'fixing the problem' of having ADD... i dont care, i like the way i think i want to solve the problem of not being able to concentrate on work, which dex does. and just cus ADD isn't 'real' doesn't mean dex is a plecebo..... amphetamines are a pretty real drug.... its not my imagination that it makes me focus like never before plus they test these things againts REAL placeboes (ie surgar pills that actually have no affect on your brain) |

I kind of contradicted myself there, I'll clarify. I have no doubt it affects you, and that it works to help you study. The placebo I refered to was that it was "fixing" your ADD. If you don't care about that, at least you aren't being duped like lots of kids. However, I had some of the problems you did, and I payed for my ass to talk to a psychologist for a couple of times, did some Cognative Behavioral Therapy. Well, I conentrate just fine, because I talked about my goals, and what I wanted to do, and when you know that, you just do the shit you need to, no matter how hard it was to study before. Don't let them drug you dood. |

right -- i think it's incorrect to dinstinguish the effects of speed based on add-diagnosis of user.. i've abused it several times and it makes me crazy focused as well.. it's a well documented effect at lower dosages. |

nevermind what ADD is, the problem is that lots of us have this *collection of symptoms* and from what AMinal says, i think i may be able to finish school now! any more light to shed on how i may be able to get some? like maybe a local doctors note? |

ive been a depressed druggy sitting at the comp making music all day, ive spent all the money i made from working this summer on dope and booze, and now im at rock bottom, to be honest xltronic sorta keeps me going, that and making music. i havent gone to school in 3 months and it pains me to see everyone living normal lives when i should be doing the same. |

That sucks things aren't going great for you, but maybe it wouldn't be better to solve your problem with drugs with yet another drug.. |

Remember dex drives? |

well im trying to get off drugs and i am, tho im crashing right now and i feel like going out and buying some more.. all i really want is to finish school, that way i wont be a TOTAL failure. and about the Dex Drive, i used to make levels in Tenchu 2 (ps) and upload them onto my old site with my duke nukem levels. good times had by all :) |

those things kicked ass! my friend had one for his Playstation and you could all sorts of cool cheats and saves for your games with it.. wonder why they never really caught on? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you could make levels for a playstation game? dude that kicks ass! |

Ive used this drug many times in my past. we used to take the time release caps off of them, seperate the sugar balls from the dex ones and add them to our slurpee's/soda and drink away, .... good speed. clean stuff. dont use it too much though, as it will eventually change you a bit. |
||||||||

yeah, Tenchu 2 is a great playstation game and the build editor can consume a large portion of your life ;P |

talk to your doctor.... or, talk to a doctor who specializes in ADD im in first year university.. and im only starting to do work now (end of the first term), cus i have dex now.... if i didn't go to this doctor i would be severely fucked over right now, as i have been in the past see i could get by till now without doing any work (in highschool)... |

thats interesting... can you describe how? |

WTF is dexadrine the same as dexamphetamine now? man I eat dexxies a bit, every couple of weeks they replace speed as the thing (when we can get them). they're really good, 10 will keep you up and awake all night no matter how stoned you get :P |
||||||||

|

dexedrine is the reason there is a 'drug war' and why cocaine is illegal |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as for changing you as far as I can guess it'd be the same as any phets change you - make you a little aggressive, lack of patience etc etc etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and blatant echo is wrong.. there is a neurochemical basis upon which all studies in this disorder (I'm still a little tentative about calling it that.. but only because of the ubiquity of it and how overdiagnosed it is) function. dexedrine is obviously a stimulant,, but it stimulates also ones focus and channels energy/focus rather than having it divided up on a frist come-first served kind of chaos... it does seem weird that they'd prescribe legal speed for a hyperactivity disorder.. but it does serve a direct purpose in properly appropriating attention |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so....dexadrine IS dexamphetamine? fuck me. but i can vouch for that - it DOES make you focussed liek hell - I eat them and if nothing is happening I'll end up making really detailed music or drawing for hours |

last I read, MRIs showed a possible increase in glutamate and lower than normal levels of GABA. soooooo, you could be right, though all these kids were poping Ritalin for their ADD. --------- On an related note, I'd love someone to explain how all of a sudden this has come up. I mean, either A) AD/HD just mutated into the physicology of humans for some reason about 30 years ago, or B) humans are being asked to do things that are bringing this "normal" annomoly to light in a way that people consider it a disorder |

as far as i'm concerned it's (ADD) a scapegoat for bad parenting. or things like child not eating and exercising properly. i could be wrong though I'm not complaining either though coz i like taking all their meds! |

I've been addicted to methamphetamine for about 5 years now, so I can relate to your situation Gwely. My life is fucked up too, because of it. |

A) is like saying prostate cancer only started to exist once it was 'discovered' by the medical community and given the name 'prostate cancer' .....or "scientificized", which i think is a pretty cool sounding word B) is pretty interesting we didn't evolve to sit in a chair 8 hours a day but then again..... give us a few million years and maybe we will |

good point, man, but i still think a lot of kids who misbehave through bad parenting are diagnosed as ADD and are fed pills. As I stated earlier this point is purely elementary as I'm all for dexxies being in existance. I actually found a bunch in my bag a min ago and I'm gonna eat them tonight and make a whoile bunch of CDs and make tracks tonight instead of going out :P |
