I can see this thread is a little bit outdated, but what the heck. Amphetamine works like this; It stimulates the release of dopamine, and then it also blocks the re-uptake of dopamine. When it is chronically abused, the dopamine receptors become depleted, etc, etc, and a dopamine deficit occurs. This lack of dopamine results in a general feeling of unhappiness, a-motivational tendencies, and physical discomfort.
I think a better medicine than prozac would be wellbutrin, because it blocks dopamine re-uptake and would goto work on the neurotransmitters causing your problems. I feel as though serotonin may not be so involved in your situation. Wellbutrin is known to reduce nicotine and opiate cravings, why not speed? Certainly it will help repair the imbalance most likely causing your problems.
If your still having problems, and you think you can handle not railing your wellbutrin, then I would go for that.
Good luck.
