    Well, as a pharmacist whose been stable on 50mg of vyvanse for more than 3 years, your wife and Doc are both incorrect…

    Both are stimulants, yes, but

    Vyvanse is an amphetamine and works to produce more neurotransmitters you don’t already have.

    Cocaine is a reuptake inhibitor… thus preventing the breakdown of neurotransmitters you do already have.

    While fundamentally they may look like they’re doing the same thing, they are in fact 2 totally different mechanisms. Furthermore, in neurotransmitter depletion the effects of cocaine will severely diminish, where as amphetamines will thrive.


  • I believe Jesus also said

    Matthew 7:5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

    So maybe we should focus on our own paths in life rather than someone else’s life decision that has 0 bearing on whether you or I go to heaven or hell?

    I mean why people are so obsessed with what people do in their own home, on their own dime, and their own time is beyond me.

    Christofacists just want to control others. They don’t care what Jesus said. They don’t want to FOLLOW Jesus, They want to BE Jesus and tell others how to live.

    Def not a math major (BS/PharmD), but your explanation was like seeing through a visual illusion for the first time! lol

    I was always taught PEMDAS growing up, and that the MD and the AS was read left to right in an equation like above. But stating the division as a fraction completely changes my mind now about how this calculation works. I think what would happen in a calculation I use every day if the former was used.

    Example: Cockcroft-Gault Equation (estimation of renal function)

    (140-age)(kg) / 72(SCr) vs (140-age) X kg ➗72 X SCr

    In the first eq (correct one) an 80yo patient who weighs 65kg and has an SCr ~ 1.5 = 36.11

    In the latter it = 81.25 (waaay too high for an 80yo lol)

    edit: calculation variable
