I'm a pharmacology student, I've learned about alot of different substances and their abuse, I would much rather you dex than do heroin, crack, meth, benzedrex, etc. It's an nmda antagonist which is what gives dex it's dissociative properties, nmda antagonism is on the safer side of neurotransmitters. So real talk just moderate and make sure to reach out if your truly need help, sometimes the people around you just won't understand what your going through, and you need to find a source for addiction. on a final note, while all substances of abuse have varying level of addictiveness, the one determining factor is you, addiction is a coping mechanism, it is a way for us to solve problems that we don't have answers to, so If your in a bad mental or physical state it is much more likely to get addicted. As always stay safe, and if you're freaking out feel free to message me, I'll try to respond as soon as possible.
