oh, and...with amphetamine psychosis, you're looking for paranoia, agitation, voices, sometimes awkward, odd movements...it can be rough. semi-locally, a methamphetamine dependent young woman gouged her own eyes out because of voices she heard while on the street meth. :-( sad times.

its more common with high doses, street drug abuse, etc., -but- it can and does happen with low to moderate, standard dose treatment by prescription. happens with ritalin, too, so its not -just- the amphetamines.

the scary thing is that it can creep up on people...so, it might be 2 years into treatment and the person starts having psych issues. and yet...

stimulants can be effective and safe(ish) for a lot of people. if you're anxious, prone to agitation, moody by nature...i would -personally- avoid, or at least try alternatives 1st.

to be fair, psych drugs -in general- can make things worse...sometimes a lot worse. antidepressants and anti-seizure drugs can cause suicidality, psychosis, etc. so...its not just the uppers.

hope this helps.
