Unfortunately I suspect that unit medics are not all that rigorous in every case about who gets these, particularly when a squadron is on active service in a war zone.

I would also point out Dexadrine IS a AMPHETEMINE!

I would also direct you to some of its more entertaining side effects -


"Central Nervous System

Psychotic episodes at recommended doses (rare), overstimulation, restlessness, dizziness, insomnia, euphoria, dyskinesia, dysphoria, tremor, headache, exacerbation of motor and phonic tics and Tourette's syndrome"

More info at - http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/de...etamine_ad.htm

I would NOT EVER get in a aircraft with a user of this stuff nor would I be happy calling in airsupport from someone using this stuff. (Thank god I am a civvie!).
