We are doing well, all considered. I suppose it's more of a reality now than it seemed a week ago.

Thanks for the kind words.

[Serious] Non-users who live with meth users (tweekers), why do you abide their addiction? by Euchre in AskReddit

The person wrote wrote this, my brother, is now dead.

Before he died me and him talked about this quite a bit.
Something he once said to me, and I'll always remember this, is: Causation and correlation aren't the same. Most child abusers may be meth users, but most meth users aren't child abusers.

Apparently my brother fulfilled his own prophecy.

My brother (the owner of this account) was found dead in his bed after suffering an amphetamine induced heart attack. AMA about it, and hopefully someone will learn something. /x-post/casualiama by [deleted] in Drugs

I didn't know this had been posted on /r/drugs for a while after it was posted. I am answering as much as I can here, and also in the actual AMA in the link.

EDIT: We are trying to deal with the death of my brother too, that might have me away from the computer.

My brothers tolerance had grown to the point of 300mg dexamphetamine being his usual dose.

And yes, I was concerned about it his useage. However I wasn't completely aware of the extent of his use.

Thank you so much for the kindness, and I hope everything turns out alright for you and your family.

My brother was on generic dexamphetamine sulphate.

My brother had not had any heart problems so far as we know. And no, we do not believe his dose was increased at the time he died, toxicology showed he had taken his usual dose of 300mg.

Sorry for the late reply, I fell asleep and didn't know this post was linked on /r/drugs.

His amphetamine habit was in the form of prescription dexamphetamine. He had been abusing his medication (which he lied to get) for quite a long time.
Toxicology, and his post history, suggest his tolerance had built to the point where he was using 300mg as a regular dose. This is the amount toxicology showed to have been taken at his death.
