Well, if you do a search you will find that it is an amphetamine,

" In the United States, amphetamine and methamphetamine are Schedule II

drugs, classified as CNS (Central Nervous System) Stimulants.[14] A

Schedule II drug is classified as one that: has a high potential for

abuse, has a currently-accepted medical use and is used under severe

restrictions, and has a high possibility of severe psychological and

physiological dependence. "

No point wondering about it if you can't get it. There are probably

other alternatives that may help, it's a matter of figuring out which

ones will help you and which ones your doctor is willing to prescribe.

Ok, well start with the pain and ask him for REAL pain medication and

if he is afraid to prescribe it ask him to send you to someone who

will. People who are in pain should not be denied narcotics (in the

opinion of someone with 16 years experience with pain). If your pain

is treated properly your need for HC will be reduced. If the pain is

treated properly the mood and cognitive function will be somewhat

better too.

Then you will need to find something for mood and cognitive function.

There were some supplements and medications mentioned in Andy's post

about depression. This post is worth reading and rereading, and then

experimenting with the suggestions:

It's the horror stories about what happens when doctors prescribe huge

pharmacological doses of HC instead of physiological doses that scare

her, but of course she doesn't know that.

J

HC does nothing compared to Adderall.
