    I'm need help with the pharmacology

    Glycerine82 replied to Sandan8916's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I take amphetamines and they start wearing off around 4-5 hours, i don't get W/D but I also have ADHD. I think dialysis would certainly speed up the process at least a little, but probably they were...
