Hamilton Morris has commented on this paradox of drugs... People who take Amphetamines because they want more energy end up tired, etc.

  I always thought that with substances like that you were only ever borrowing from the future.

    Dosage and timing is key.

    Amphetamines at therapeutic doses are safe and neuroprotective (and even prevent substance abuse), but if you're abusing them "for energy" that's not a therapeutic dose. If you're doing that, what you actually need is 8+ hours sleep, proper sunlight and exercise, a sleep apnea check, and then maybe buy adrafinil off the internet (where legal).

      I guess I was talking more about recreational doses than therapeutic ones.
