no formal tests were done, but he did ask me for my early school reports, and i broke down in his office-emotional lability i guess.Imipramine certainly causes a dry mouth-a change from the dribling from other meds.
The first times i took 5-10mgs Dexamphetamine were wonderfull thou, MY HEAD SHUT UP and the restfull sleep-HEAVEN.
I'm sure my Pc Doc thought i was mad, and probably freaked when i was given Amphetamines-i'm sure he wouldn't have felt comfortable continuing THAT treatment.
Apparently Ritalin was available in parenteral elixer for IV use in medicine in the 1960s to bring around post-op patients, but had to be discontinued like Methedrine ampoules were, due to misuse.
