Long-term regular amphetamine use ... healthy?

All current evidence points to that being oxymoronic.

Same goes for stimulants in general.

However...

Case dependent. For this individual, do the beneficial effects outweigh the deleterious effects?


I don't have enough information to answer that question.

It's certainly not healthy. But perhaps "acceptable risk." How to know whether or not that's the case? The only way is monitoring symptoms. Nobody can predict with full certainty whether the benefits will outweigh the risks without actually trying it. But taking the smallest amounts as infrequently as possible makes it more likely.

I agree with this post - Longterm regular amphetamine use being healthy, it is actually the opposite.

I would say it is very unhealthy and also it causes your urine to become clear, I assume because you are peeing out all of your minerals and vitamines and electrolytes.

I would upvote the above post I quoted, but I can't seem to upvote it, it won't let me. Anyone know why?

Amphetamines downregulate your dopamine receptors. The day after amphetmine usage, you will have less dopamine than your baseline amount of dopamine because your receptors have to upregulate.

My advice: No amphetmines even occasionally are not healthy and they are just an easy way out with long term conequences.

As a previous person said, "Lesser of two evils" -- I would agree that amphetmines are "evil" in a sense. Why do you think ppl can get high off of them is because they increase dopamine and cause you to be less productive on the days that you do not take them.

Something like Piracetam, you do not really get high, so that is a real nootropic and very compatible with healthy living.

go to hell with your medication bashing.

WHY DONT YOU GO JOIN A BUS FILLED WITH RELIGIOUS PEOPLE that GO slamming RELIGION UP peoples hairty crusty arse holes.
