There is evidence of change in dopamine neurones after use of amphetamines, little of it is clearly applicable to human and therapeutic doses. Calling this 'neurotoxic' is not warranted from the evidence currently availible though. For instance, DATs are overexpressed for people with ADHD and reducing there number would be a benefit from chronic treatment. This would be consistent with the therapeutic benefit often extending past the time one takes the drug.
