Just curious. I know it's still out there but it's probably the most expensive in this category, and the only one that is actual legal methamphetamine. I took it 20 years ago, a 15 mg time release pellet. One of those recreational situations. But it was really pretty good, and I didn't get a buzz really. Just felt very very good. I think now it's only in 5 mg tabs, and if you get the brand it's ridiculous, like $180 for a hundred of them. What does the DEA make them do, deliver them in a Brink's truck?

You can't even get Desoxyn in Canada. I imagine that a doctor would only use it last, once other stimulants have been tried. Even then, you'd probably only get a scrip for it from an ADHD expert who has prescribed it before. It doesn't really make sense to me - methamphetamine is not radically different from dextroamphetamine in it's effects - only it's reputation. The simple fact that it's easier to synthesize in a clandestine lab than other amphetamine derivatives has tainted it.

I'm not taking it myself, but I've heard of people who are taking it, so I guess the answer to your question is yes.

I agree with Gregster. Yes, it's methamphetamine, but it's not crystal meth made in some high desert shanty by space ghost biker "cooks." It is pharmaceutical grade and the way Abbott makes it, it's actually smoother than anything out there. I checked Walgreen's pharmacy online here in So Cal, and they do carry it. But it is rarely prescribed. My psyche is an intern at a clinic here in San Diego connected with the University of California SD. He's so green, I think I know more about what's out there than him. Great guy, though. Very open minded. He would give it to if I got on the level of Dex and wanted to sample it. There is generic. It's still $100 for a 100 5 mg.
