Desoxyn is an FDA approved brand-name methamphetamine that is prescribed to treat ADHD and obesity. It’s not very common, and usually ADHD patients will be prescribed some other amphetamine, but meth is schedule II and it is used to treat ADHD in some cases.
Multiple commenters say Desoxyn isn’t '“common” but at the pharmacy I worked at for 5 years we always stocked it, and had enough scripts coming in that we’d need to make sure we had inventory. This was for adhd mostly. Methamphetamine is more potent per molecule so it’s not necessarily analogous with amphetamine for side effects.
Interesting. To be honest, I was basing that primarily on my own anecdotal experiences. Everyone I know whose gotten a prescription for one for some other amphetamine.
