In reply to chemist--dexerdrine??, posted by woolav on August 22, 2004, at 7:56:22
> Chemist, I cant find the post you replied to my earlier question from again..(see what I mean by memory loss) anyway, did you say you were taking dexerdrine with xanax? Because I read that it is very addictive and can abused. Also, you dont take any kind of SSRI's do you?
> Shello there, chemist here....i take dexedrine, xanax, and yes, an SSRI - luvox. anything can be abused, be it an SSRI, table salt, or my recently-deceased cell phone. if one - in consult with their doctor, of course - is prudent in watching for signs of dose escalation/drug-seeking behaviour, then the unseemly events can be diminished and treatment can be successful. everyone has their own opinions/stories, of course, but keep in mind that many of us have continual - and will have, for life - treatment with these and other medications. more commonly-accepted and practiced options for coping with stress/depression/etc. - such as emotionally and/or physically abusing family members, excessive use of alcohol, and smoking cigarettes - are less attractive, in my opinion, than a good diet, some exercise, therapy, and even medication. all the best, chemist
