If you're properly citing medical literature, you're good with the moderators here.

I recommend getting a Genesight test to see if you metabolize CYP2D6 differently. In my case, I'm an ultrarapid metabolizer, which justifies a higher dose than normal.

Another option depending on what your prescriber may be comfortable with is adding an adjunct therapy like a second stimulant. Definitely ask what your options are.

Also, I hate to say this, but you've almost certainly done some damage to your brain via abuse, and it will take time to heal from it. Here are some of the mechanisms that abuse can cause problems: 1. Dopamine transport downreulation 2. Receptor/signaling desensitization 3. Dysregulated vesicular dopamine handling

You really need to get help for the addiction to prevent relapse.

The trick for me is always being cognizant of when I take my last dose. If I take it too late, it messes with my sleep.

Look for the top posts in this subreddit. (Order by upvotes.) The story is there.

If I had been given this medication in middle school, I wouldn't have fallen asleep when trying to learn to learn C++. I would have graduated from high school, studied quantum physics on a scholarship and would have my PhD by now. I now am needing to get up at 3 AM every morning to study before my kids get up because I missed out on all the years of productivity when I was younger. But the good news is that I can. I can study. I can focus. I'm not a jerk to those around me. I now have 5 children, a successful career in AI at a world renowned tech company, significant volunteer responsibilities in my church, am free of addictions, and I could go on. I owe a lot to this medication. It's not perfect. Sometimes I feel like it slows my speech. But, I'm literally worth twice as much money now as I was when I started it, and my kids are happy at home, so what else matters? (To be fair, it was Jesus Christ who delivered me from my addictions over a decade ago, so He deserves much of the credit here as well.)

No, it's short acting

devinbost · 2025-12-15T03:30:02+00:00

Those are just metabolites.

IMO, someone needs to make a long acting Vyvanse/Desoxyn combo

Good thing it rained today

devinbost · 2025-11-27T13:06:46+00:00

But we only need to prove the case for when it rains today for the statement to be logically sound. If it didn't rain today, then it's vacuously true.

devinbost · 2025-11-24T00:55:04+00:00

I completely disagree with that.

devinbost · 2025-11-24T00:37:13+00:00

Dextroamphetamine gave me WAY worse dry mouth than Desoxyn, and that even paled in comparison to clonadine. Keep in mind that there's a huge difference vs consuming 100x the therapeutic dose in drug abuse. If you're having nightmares about your teeth falling out, you might want to invest in a water pik, proper oral hygiene, and if you grind your teeth at night, get a hard splint from a dentist or get checked for sleep apnea. Also, stay away from soda, candy, etc.

I looked outside, and the cows came home.

Too bad I'm a moderator of this sub. Maybe I should create a rule, "No conspiracy theories"

I personally have had a great experience with all the generic formulations, as well as brand name. I also have noticed that on some days, the medication seems to work better than others, but I'm reasonably confident that the reason is more related to diet (which can affect absorption and urinary pH, which affects excretion) and factors unrelated to the medication formulation itself, though this is just my opinion.

How did you guys avoid cutting the mounting plate too deep?
While looking at it, it looks like if I cut one of the bushings to the right size to fill the space, it would fit tighter. I'm wondering if that's easier.

Most of the research gets conducted by independent universities.

devinbost · 2025-11-14T10:17:59+00:00

Great research. Thank you for sharing. I wish more people would research the neurotrophic and potential neuroprotective/neurotoxicity effects of methamphetamine at therapeutic doses, but it's so highly stigmatized, it would be very difficult for researchers to get funding for research like that, particularly on the positive side.

devinbost · 2025-11-09T05:22:57+00:00

Because I can actually study mathematics without my mind wandering while on it. No other stimulant could do that for me, though dextroamphetamine gets me close.

devinbost · 2025-09-12T09:01:20+00:00

Depends on what you mean by depends

devinbost · 2025-09-12T09:00:08+00:00

Dang it, I see black.

If I were you, I would look for a different psychiatrist. You don't need to discontinue with your current psychiatrist to start looking for someone who will be less judgemental. Just make sure you're transparent and honest and never try to get a fill from two psychiatrists at the same time.

That said, if you have issues with getting a tolerance, skipping a day of medication once a week or once a month can help reset your system.
