Talk:Amphetamine

Cleanup

Inexistant drugbox moved from the main space. To reconsider, whether it pays for itself. Template:Drugbox

I would like to make this article a little more readable and a little less complacent about recreational drug use of amphetamine, which is a major drug of abuse. Nancy Sculerati 15:46, 31 March 2007 (CDT) Also, to make it accurate from a medical standpoint. For example, a current indication for amphetamine is to help rehabilitate patients with traumatic brain injury who have depressed conciousness-not mentioned at all here. will add references below, for discussion and for article.

Their use may be appropriate in select patients.8,9 Tricyclic antidepressants are considered second- or third-line agents because of the risk of toxicity, while clonidine and guanfacine should be considered fourth-line or as adjunctive treatment because of the lack of established efficacy as monotherapy.9,10 (excerpt from article:Several reviews and meta-analyses document the short-term efficacy of methylphenidate, dexmethylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, mixed amphetamine salts, and pemoline in reducing the core symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity associated with ADHD (Table 1).2,7,20 Sixty to eighty percent of adolescents and adults and at least 80% of children will respond to stimulants when initiated and adjusted appropriately. There is no evidence showing that one stimulant has superior efficacy over another. Because of the risk of hepatotoxicity, pemoline should be used only if all other stimulant and nonstimulant preparations are ineffective.7,9,10
