Try Gabapentine: Gabapentine (Neurontin) has been used to help speed withdrawal from alcohol, marijuana, benzodiazepines, and opiates. It may work for amphetamines, too. The key is the dose. Take enough (usually 600-800mg at bedtime-- but sometimes as high as 2400mg) to get to sleep at night, and lower doses (100-400mg) 2 or 3 times during the day (doses that don't make you sleepy). Good luck.
