Dear Philidor
This may be of no use nor benefit, but I post this link because I happened to come across this old paper recently:
"Inhibition of Amphetamine Tolerance and Metabolism by Propranolol" - Shoeman DW, Sirtori CR, & Ararnoff DL, Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (1974) v191 (1):68 - 71.
This reports studies on the pharmacokinetics and anorectic effect of amphetamine on laboratory rats, which showed, from my amatuer reading, an inhibition of amphetamine breakdown rather than any alteration in pharmacodynamics.
I haven't seen nor heard any references to similar effects on humans on this board or elsewhere however.
regards
elleff
