Methamphetamine for ADHD "Desoxyn was the greatest treatment for my ADHD I have ever received. Alas, I lost access to my prescribing doc and thus his scripts several years back over a national shakeup in health insurance. Naturally, some should never be prescribed this drug (it's methamphetamine after all). Abusers aside, however, if one struggles significantly with ADHD, Desoxyn may be the key when all else falls short. It certainly was for me. At the time of my Rx, I was completing graduate courses, all of which I aced. I also received flawless scores on two different research papers. I was dosed at the advised max of 25mg/day; and while I could sense the stimulant working, I wasn't beset by dependence, and it never triggered euphoria or enticed me to abuse it in any way. Given the stigma that surrounds Desoxyn, and with insurance getting ever more selective over drug coverage, I regret not expecting to reap Desoxyn's benefits again. But I'm thankful for the remarkable blessing it was while it lasted."

Methamphetamine for ADHD "24-year-old male here. Wish I could explain my full 6-year story and share advice and words of support, but there’s a char limit. My experience: 1. Adderall didn’t work, caused anxiety at higher doses (IR & XR). 2. Concerta 36 mg helped a little. 54 mg genuinely worked… for the first 2 days. 3. Focalin lived up to its claims. More tolerable & effective. I still couldn’t work like a normal person. 4. “Final showdown” time. Requested a month of Desoxyn, then a month of Dexedrine. 5. Lots of experimenting (within FDA guidelines). I found them to be the 2 most effective, with Desoxyn winning. (Um… no idea why 3:1 AMP salts combo did nothing.) It’s neither magical nor scary. I’d say #1 for efficacy, #2 for tolerability (2nd to Focalin). Feels similar overall to other ADHD meds. Only anomaly was mild euphoria the first 2 days. Less addictive than coffee. Only “big W” could order it. Even on this, I still struggle. But it’s the best I’ve got."
