>It does fine with moderate repeated dosing, i found 3 doses a day of IR every 4 hours or so to be about the limit. If someone decides "well golly i have a term paper due ill just pop my same dosage multiple more times over the next 15 hours ill be fine". No you wont, the dexedrine will not play nice unless you start escalating the dosage. It will be unpleasent and make you a twitchy mess rather than keep lighting up your reward system. Unfortunately, this does give people an incentive to abuse the drug but on the other hand it does stop more casual abuse.
