Huh, interesting. I wonder if ADHD amphetamine users get sick less often than others.

It's just a personal anecodte, but whenever I get sick, I take amphetamine salts. It absolutely lets me power through the day and relieves symptoms (mostly stuffy nose), but I don't know if it's sustainable for something as long lasting as c19.

Ephedrine is a key ingredient of many cold and flu drugs, or was until the War on Drugs caused it to be banned for being an amphetamine precursor. I wonder if any amphetamine metabolites have similar effects to ephedrine?

.. apart from all the meth side effects??
