Specializes in Pediatrics

Much : Methamphetamine is highly addictive, can lead to severe heart problems. Over time can lead to psychosis. Not a nice drug. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixture that is exquisitely safe and effective. Also it's legal.
