I read an about the damage meth does to you and how it takes way too long to recover from it. How is Ritalin different even tho chemically they are cousins?

One correction. Adderall is “amphetamine mixed salts” not just amphetamine. It’s actually a combination of several similar stimulants. The point of combining many different amphetamines is to have ones with varying durations of effect to make a more even “high.”

I always hated Ritalin because it made me jittery and then I would crash. I have been on Adderall for 25+ years and it is such an even rise and slow fall that I don’t really notice it.
