Goo luck and hope you find what works for you!

If Adderall/amphetamine is contraindicated, wouldn't Desoxyn/methamphetamine be as well since they're very similar?

According to a couple sources I found, the amphetamine class is contraindicated because it competitively blocks ACH receptors. That probably explains the increase in eyelid and other symptoms.

Have you had a conversation with a pharmacist about all of these drugs you are taking? I'm concerned that you will have either a severe reaction/interaction or might, well, become a statistic, if you know what I mean.

Drugs are great but they do kill almost 100,000 people every year. Doctors prescribe them because they want to help their patients. But sometimes too many drugs is not a good thing.

I know you have a complex health history and it's not so easy to balance things. And it sucks to have so much going on!

Mrs D will tell you that talking to a pharmacist is a great way to go when you are unsure of a drug. AND then talking to your doctor again.

I know you're smart, and you are a great advocate for yourself. I was just uneasy reading about the drugs you are "playing" with (not that you're literally playing with them!).

I hope you understand my concerns.

Annie
