By the same logic cocaine in small doses would not be addictive. I can tell you that everything that manipulates your dopamin levels can lead to some kind of addiction. Plus you have actual withdraw symptoms from amphetamines too.
- astrange 6y agoCocaine isn't a prescription drug. Adderall/Vyvanse aren't addictive at the prescribed doses, it's not really relevant what happens if you just start snorting it. > Plus you have actual withdraw symptoms from amphetamines too. Easily managed and known to last about a week. The non-stimulant ADHD medications like guanfacine actually have much worse withdrawal!
- lfowles 6y agoIt's so weird to keep hearing that prescription doses of these drugs are addictive. I regularly forget to take them until it's too late in the day and if I took them I would have trouble sleeping... :/
- daniel-cussen 6y agoOne way to check if you took it, is to choose a song with a strong beat that you've heard thousands of times, for reference. If you took your stimulants that day, the tempo should sound slower than if you didn't.
- sjg007 6y agoThere are some doctors who think that cocaine in small doses is one of the best anti-depressants we have. Kids can abuse cough syrup or inhale pain thinner. At some point we should have medicines available.
