> Ame Sans Vie, have you ever tried inhaling the steam off simmering dilluted elderberry vinegar and several reconstituted gouda cheese rinds? It has a powerful selubrious effects. It also gets you way way higher on the dexadrine. You can really get your freak on. All organic of course.
Tee-hee.
If you plug dexedrine and ascorbic into Google, you'll find a number of sites with information on substances that block or potentiate the effects of dexedrine.
Interesting enough, absorption from the stomach is substantially affected by acid content. The protonated amine does not absorb well, so sodium bicarbonate enhances uptake by neutralizing stomach acidity. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) would presumably do the converse, but there has to be more to ascorbate than that....normal stomach acid (HCl) is far more acidic than ascorbic acid. Moreover, I didn't see other common acids (e.g. vinegar) mentioned as being problematic.
Vitamin C is a cofactor for a number of enzymatic processes, so perhaps it also enhances dexedrine breakdown.
