Amphetamines: Performance Enhancer or Addictive Stimulant - Doctor Explains

[@panekoekopjema]

When the I heard the accent and he stated the prices of speed I knew he was Dutch. I used to be severely addicted to all sorts of amphetamines and novel uppers but after they found out that i had ADHD/ADD and prescribed me a low dose of dextro-amphetamine tablets I never shoveled that "smeerboel" into my nose. Good to see a Dutch perspective on these drugs

I have ADHD ADD and the Adderall is a life changer it makes me feel normal when I take it I can focus do my work and concentrate. I have a prescription for it and it’s 20 mg Er extended release and it works great. No side effects. I’m very irritated when people talk and use it illegally when they don’t have the ADHD and are making it hard for the legal system to classify the medication

[@ThiloNorris]

As someone with ADD, I love amphetamines. I never received medication therapy in my childhood, let alone a diagnosis, and I came into contact with amphetamine for the first time after school. It was like a revelation for me. For the first time in my life, I felt truly awake and I could suddenly follow people's conversations without having to ask questions every 3 minutes. However, it increased my sleep problems. Later I also came into contact with methylphenidate, which is easier to control and which I can finally take as medication today :) I can only advise against mixed consumption. It masks the effects of many other drugs, such as alcohol or MDMA. This is wasteful and dangerous ;-)

I'm a recovered speed freak from the 70s &80s! I could talk about meth but I'm not. I'm talking about amphetamines. First I ever saw ,my mother had for weight. I first ran into them when I was approached at 13 to start hitting dope Dr for scripts of amphetamines and qualudes. By 15 I was hitting them for me! I will say that since amphetamines are almost impossible to get since a crackdown in the late 80s. Unless you know a hyper child! Most of the bathtub crank now isn't worth peeing on. So I quit in the early 90s. Amphetamines were a problem. But the side affects aren't like meth exactly. Kinda endup in the same place, but the meth is harder for your body to recover from. I can still remember how good the amphetamines made you feel, I'm really glad they are gone. No chance I'm killing myself with the meth. I've tried it back when you didn't have to raid Walmart for the supplies. It wasn't any good then even less now!

[@Xcx2024]

Hi I'm also a recovering speed freak too but ive been smashing it hard early 20s an been smashing 1/2/3g bombers daily since 15 I now take elvanse but I've got a question that's been burning in my head please get back to me, does speed make you age faster? Or am I tripping I know it causes dental problems but in terms of aging an face structure will I lose that or have already damaged it?

[@LuciferMornStar]

@SmokeyCrib bro, it definitely does ! All of it does . I've seen beautiful young girls from 15 and up being turned into snagle tooth hags, looking in some cases 3 times their actual age. You can look it up on Google and get the exact reason why. But from the many addicts I've seen from the speed queens from back in the day to the crackhead and ho's of today. It destroys your teeth&gums,your hair&scalp ,your skin & you need a Dr to explain what goes on inside of you to your organs! I can tell you what it did to me. Had hepatitis 4 times Ended up naturally with hepatitis C . I was lucky it didn't damage my liver beyond repair! I did the MAYVERT HEPC treatment, which I absolutely recommend! After having it , 'm guessing atleast 15yrs almost all signs were gone at the end of the first month. All signs of it after 2 months, Dr . aid my liver had made a remarkable recovery by the end of 3. Thanking my lord much for that blessing! I've seen a best friend and several other friends die from liver cancer, it heartbreaking to watch and horrendous to go thru! Brother , I will pray for you. I hope you find a way to recover. I know it's possible! If you slip and fall, just get backup and do it again! You seem to have recognized I'm in recovery,so I'm sure you know what a desire chip is. I slipped everytime I turned around because of my arrogance and thinking I was smarter than everyone else. I got so many of the aluminum desire chips I could have melted them down into a bass boat! I'm not telling you anything but to just keep trying! GL I hope this has been at least a lil helpful!

Don’t forget amphetamines for treatment resistant depression.

[@TetraSamurai]

It’s only effective in the short term for that. The anti depressant effects are dependent upon the stimulant euphoria you get from them, which fades within weeks of taking it. It’s a stimulant high, that’s not an effective way of treating depression

Bro dont tell people in Midwest america about liquid meth bro these people out here already having a zombie apocalypse because of the billy crystal

[@JordanG-i5k]

😂😂

[@kattentissari3247]

From the start; Heavy substance. Controls symptoms, but does still have more effects of the drug that remains of course as medicine. I was helped a lot of these, but I would hesitate to administer to kids.

[@HurlingMongroach]

adderall damaged my vision severely, it also makes me cough up blood and mucus plugs

[@NikomaGrob]

What the fuck? Im totally fine and ive been using methylfenidate for years

[@matthaberek]

I started adderall 10mg er and it worked but I felt like by 2pm I was going to fall asleep my doctor said I probably just wasn’t used to it. Then he put it on 20 mg er to compensate but the new pill was a different manufacturer and I felt horrible anxiety and really uncomfortable around 4 to 6 hours. Been miserable because yes I’m focused one ONE thing instead of lost In thoughts of 20 things but the one thing is the anxiety I’m very focused on how miserably uncomfortable I am. When I had the 10 mg er I did not have anxiety or side effects it just felt the relief and Benefits where very brief. Now my doctor doesn’t want to change anything and says it’s all fine the way it is. I asked if he could put me back on the 10mg er and make the other 10 mg a ir instead of a er. And he said no. So I don’t know what to do I’m very unhappy

[@elhoffman8290]

Honestly it sounds like you need to find a new doctor. I've had a similar experience to yours and decreased my prescription back down. The key for me was finding the lowest dose that did the job. I settled on IR twice a day.

[@FrIoSrHy]

Medication isn't always better, try vyvanse or maybe just go without meds, it can sometimes be better

[@matthaberek]

@@FrIoSrHywhy don’t you try if it’s so much better to you what kind of advice is that? Oh just go without when you don’t know a thing

[@therealamon]

If you get beads in the capsule XR u can just take the beads out for less of a dose and put the beads in another capsule

[@NikomaGrob]

Eh you can break them in half. U take whatever u wanna take my man.

[@Milan595]

I could write ocean of contra arguments in regards to that, but not gonna risk to be deemed delusional by some people whom do not possess sufficient specific well established knowledge or intellectual honesty for which btw this doctor had not met the criteria. It goes both way, the most evidently depending on dose, individual metabolism, genetics and type of amphetamine. While it's the most common knowledge that speed for example may induce not only psychosis yet manic psychosis it can also elevate the symptoms such as chronic depression, stabilize mood, enhance self-regulation therefor help with behavior not to mention it can reverse negative effect of some legal medications and fix cognitive functions overall, not just giving "false sense" of improvement as he mentioned in the video.

[@Jaang29]

Thank you, it was simple and to the point. Hola Dr. from Miami, FL.

[@Докс-д2е]

Man, speak into the microphone. I can't hear half of your speech.

[@happystevison9682]

Sorry, I didn't think anyone was listening

[@Jaang29]

Thank you for sharing, how come the increased libido ? Doesn't the blood flow mostly to the brain, so in the case of a man, wouldn't act cause negative effects on obtaining an erection ? Thank you in advance for your time in the response.

[@Milan595]

having increased libido as result of parasympathetic(part of autonomous nervous system) nervous system overstimulation is not necessarily leading to good erection, especially if being too stimulated.

[@Milan595]

more accurate answer is, blood distribution is lead by pressure to the brain, but pure internal stimuli include whole nervous system, therefor increased libido and hard time with obtaining erection.

[@karolpiql]

Man you even didn't answer your question..

[@Sharkeisha1]

Good luck on your dopamine receptors when you try to go without it
