Meth and adderall pharmacology
It might be suprising to some but meth and adderall work the EXACT SAME WAY in the brain
​
everything written below applies to both meth and adderall equally
American society often associates methamphetamine with addiction, death, overdose, and crazy people. Adderall is viewed as a medicine good for studying and productivity at work. Pharmacology research and chemical analysis shows that methamphetamine and Adderall are the EXACT SAME DRUG when it comes to addiction potential, psychoactive effects, as well as mental damage. All scientific literature you can find online will tell you the chemical structures are 99% similar and the 1% difference goes away one once the drug is ingested in any form. The images below displays the similarities.
Amphetamine base chemical name is alpha-methylphenethylamine
Crystal Methamphetamine is a hydrochloride salt
Adderall is a mixture of levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine
Amphetamines bind to presynaptic membrane of dopaminergic neurons and release massive amounts of dopamine especially in the striatum. Then amphetamine molecules bind to dopamine reuptake transporters which prevents dopamine from leaving synaptic gap and reversing dopamine transporters which causes free dopamine to be transported out of the terminal. High doses of amphetamines even cause monoamine oxidase inhibition which prevents dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin breakdown. Inhibiting monoamine oxidase increases all monoamine prevalence and receptor interactions.
