2.5 mg methamphetamine daily saved my life.

Compared to dexamphetamine:

- It has less cardiovascular impact (no cold extremities, no excessive sweating, less "fight or flight")

- It has a lower impact on sleep (I can take a nap while under the influence)

- It lasts longer (9 to 12 hours, compared to 4 to 6)

- It makes living a balanced live easier (dexamphetamine would feed perseveration, meth makes switching tasks much easier)

- No noticeable comedown

Some of the downsides of methamphetamine include:

- A much higher abuse potential (however, I have never felt the need to exceed my daily dose. I want to live a normal live, not experience some shallow euphoric bliss.)

- It is unclear what the neurotoxic properties are in therapeutic dosages.

- The social stigma
