Just never really heard of anyone in all my years go to their PCP and get an “upper”. But have heard a bunch go to their doctor’s for something for less anxiety, make you sleepy, methadone, morephine hell even now weed. and again NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. Only one I have heard of is a B12 shot but that’s probably replaced by the vitamin.
EDIT: 2 Hours later and this became an ADHD forum lol. Is that the only one?
Being an amphetamine doesn’t mean a drug is “basically meth”.
Would you say DXM is basically Ketamine because both are dissociative drugs?
Dxm and ketamine have similar effects on similar neurotransmitters, but not identical. Amphetamine and methamphetamine have identical effects on the same receptors, one just stick around longer.
Analogy: dxm is taking a bus down the street, ketamine is taking truck down the street. Amphetamine is driving your car going 70, meth is driving your car going 85.
They don’t have identical effects, otherwise one wouldn’t work better for an individual than others.
Correct. Much like there is a difference between driving 70 and 85.
Some people, going 70 just doesn’t cut it.
No. They each have different effects on the brain. Stimulants work on several different mechanisms of action, and how much they affect the various mechanisms varies by drug.
And now you’re just wrong.
They work the exact same way, they affect the exact same receptors in the exact same way. One just effects them for longer than the other. This is not like comparing DXM and ketamine.
Edit: This is what people mean when they say adderall is basically meth. They have the same neurochemical effect. The methyl group (that’s the meth- in methamphetamine) just means that meth stays bound to the receptors for a little bit longer.
Is the below confusing?
