@marlies And look up its systemic name on Wikipedia having taken loads of it.

Anyway, very fond of it

@marlies Any long term reduction in efficacy? I seem to have settled down after 6 months.
in reply to Sarah Brown

hard to tell, I also aged a decade and a lot of other things changed as well. But not to the point of “never mind, might as well stop taking these”.

I had long term amplification in efficacy after some years. Had to cut the dose. My dealer* said it was common.

@Cy @marlies As in feeling overstimulated and looking like you’ve done every serial killing within a 25km radius?
in reply to Sarah Brown

I couldn't sleep more than 6 hours on the stuff. It made my heart race constantly, like 90bpm, for years. Just gave me a feeling of always being on edge. And mild overdose produces extremely painful urination, so there's that. Amphetamine is pretty awful as far as drugs go.

Can't comment on how much I looked like a vacuum cleaner salesman.
