It's my understanding that Methedrine has not been manufactured in quite some time, at least here in the U.S. You weren't lucky enough to find an expiration date or anything, were you? I'd assume anything with the brand name "Methedrine" would have to be at least five years old... And I thought it only came in an I.V. solution? I'll have to research that one.

Well, if these really *are* "Methedrine tablets", 5mg, that would make them identical for the most part to Desoxyn (methamphetamine HCl, 5mg), the possibility of loss of potency due to age notwithstanding. To me, and it seems to many AD/HDers, 5mg Desoxyn is approximately equivalent to 10mg dexamphetamine in most regards, with some different subjective effects (i.e. greater euphoria) and fewer peripheral effects. 10mg dexamphetamine is generally held to be equipotent to 15-20mg methylphenidate. If you have experience with methylphenidate, then anywhere from 5-15mg should be a reasonable first dose -- though I'd personally want to find out some more about these tablets' point of origin and age before experimenting.
I'll get back with you if I find anything else!
