Havent seen any mention of this yet but the reason for this is well known in the recreational drug community : amphetamine is a chiral molecule. The D isomer is more psychologically active. The L isomer creates more physical side effects. There is no regulation for the % of each isomer in the product. This means that one brand may be 70% L, 30% D, and a different brand could be the opposite.

I take this drug daily. The current supply crunch has meant I've had to take inferior versions of the product for nearly a year now. It fucking sucks. I need it to work but the side effects often mean little sleep, strange repetitive behaviour, absurd hypersexuality, etc.

Its a travesty, not in the best interest of the consumer. If you are on this medication you are treated like dog shit from the doctor to the insurance company to the pharmacy to the pill itself. All in the name of either preventi g addicts from getting it (who cares?) Or making more money for some massive company.
