In reply to PreventiveCardioprotection in Longterm Stim. Use, posted by theomastix on January 6, 2012, at 14:18:50
I think I possibly didn't phrase my initial post clearly.
The issue I am contemplating here is, PROPHYLAXIS or *preventative* treatment.
Of course living healthy is primary. That's a given.
Yet, another given relevant here is that amphetamine, taken on a long-term basis due to the patient truly needing it to function approximately "normally" (as I do), carries the risk of generating cardiovascular degenerative processes.
I always think ahead, plan ahead. Maybe part of "hypervigilance", who knows?
Here is a comparison: Levodopa helps treat Parkinson's disease; but Levodopa can also cause serious adverse side effects, e.g., nausea, vomiting, dyskinesias, etc. Therefore, doctors commonly co-administer Carbidopa to obtain the benefits of Levodopa without the negative side effects.
Does that illustration help in understanding my question? I am looking for a clever drug combination analogously. I am looking for the "Carbidopa" of Adderall or Dexedrine, to preemptively eliminate toxic potentialities before they have the chance to manifest. The goal being to reap the benefits of medicinal amphetamine without the potentially dangerous side effects.
