Feel free to share as much on the topic as you’d like, very interested in seeing how amphetamine has affected you in your day to day life, and wether it helped overall or made positives unmanageable, etc.

Thanks!

I imagine an amphetamine would make you worse,

Are you just trying to combat negatives?

yeah mostly for negative symptoms. Ive been on amphetamine in one form or another (always prescribed) for the past 3 years. I find when im on the right type of amp and dosage it helps my negatives to the point i can do an activity to distract myself from the (usually mild) paranoias.

Dexedrine is the only thing that has worked for negative symptoms.
I understand that a lot of doctors are unwilling to prescribe them due to the risk of psychosis.
I only take 10mg capsules, down from 15mg, so they really only give me energy and motivation.

Ive been on many stimulants. They helped me feel more active and awake but the side effects sucked.
