binge eating.......alot in the 50's till the 80s amphetamine stimulants where used for diet reasons for weight loss....which this paticular is not for weight loss but to suppress eating......
you know, im all with amphetamines, i think it should kept in society for a long time, it enhances cognitive processing, mood elevation, and it helps with many cognitive deficets....the only cons to it is the wear off period, depression after its worn off....so maybe if the doctors can start to making a scheduele to keep that from happening.....
amphetamine is back as a diet pill.......it should be kpet in society....even though the silly people who abuse it, it does improve thinking in various ways.....

Hmm. This is a decision which will return to haunt the FDA.

Amphetamines are en vogue again in the US. I did a research project on what I called "America's on again, off again love affair with Rx speed." Well, its on again.
What's frightening now is that instead of just being on speed, or being on a goof ball, people are on complicated cocktails, even kids and adolescents, with uppers in the mix. And when people freak out from speed, they get hospitalized, doped to the gills, blamed for the situation, and labeled. Ugh.
My best guess is that everybody's bored and over-worked and over-scheduled, so speed helps the worker bees produce, or at least complain less.

>hopefully it won't be a problem....
Probably not as severe a problem, but if it's widely prescribed it will be a problem....
