[quote:pi 20063747:MV8yMDg2OTY3XzM1MTU0NzI2X0I3RjcwMTRC] [quote:Miggy:MV8yMDg2OTY3XzM1MTU0NTkzXzI3RURGODYx] Boy, I'LL say! They gave me that once and I was happily cleaning every crack and crevice of my house for three days straight! Are they classified the same? Adderall is a 5. I can't believe it's as potent as Dex. [/quote] Hmm, I'm not sure as to which classification system you are referring, however I do know that amphetamine comes in two "forms" (isomers); dextro-rotary (right-handed) and levo-rotary (left-handed). In the case of amphetamine, the two isomers have significantly different effects if consumed alone; dextro-amphetamine is considered the "effective" isomer, while levo-amphetamine is more peripherally active, similar to ephedrine (a chemical precursor of amphetamines). Dexedrine is made of pure dextro-amphetamine. Adderall happens to be 75% dextro-amphetamine, with the rest composed of the less CNS-active levo-amphetamine. So, as a rough guess, Adderall should be 75-90% as potent as Dexedrine, but as you have seen, the pure D-isomer forms do effect some people much more strongly. [/quote]
Original Message
I think my 50+ female friend is addicted to adderall. I know she was diagnosed as ADD about 7 or 8 years ago, and she ran a successful business.
Now she is having severe health and mental issues and has lost her business.
Anyone else familiar with this addiction?
