Meh meth is prescribed for some adhd cases today and those people are totally functional and fine. Same with their other cousins. Same with painkillers.

Its just they have abuse potential, especially opioid’s, and that is why you have to be careful about it.

Its the entire schedule 1 bullshit that prevents usage of some, and those are political.

Methamphetamine is perfectly safe when used correctly. The problem, obviously, is trust and self-control. Because it's so potent and crosses the blood-brain barrier easier, IIRC it has less intense physical side effects compared to the equivalent (in terms of mental effects) D-amphetamine dose.

Desoxyn (meth) works the best out of all adhd meds for me. Magically light and effective touch.

How exactly do you go about asking your doctor to try meth?

Even asking for D-amphetamine (superior to Adderall imo, because Adderall contains L-amphetamine which has unpleasant physical effects) is already a tall order. I've read of doctors getting "flagged" for prescribing it.

You don't go in asking for a specific med. You go in for ADHD symptoms and work with your doctor from there trying different medications and dosages to find one that fits you.
