- aaaaaaaaaaab 4y agoNo, long-term stimulant use is totally A-ok! /s
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoActually, at therapeutic doses, it is.
- maleldil 4y agoAntipsychotics are terrifying, but I'd rather deal with the physical side-effects than the disorder, and they're pretty effective at treating that.

- matheusmoreira 4y agoDepends on how you define "problem". Amphetamines may cause a lot of side effects: lower appetite, agitation, insomnia, irritability, bruxism... The list goes on. Whether these risks are acceptable or not is an individualized choice. Some side effects may even be beneficial: lower appetite for weight loss, insomnia for narcolepsy.
