Methylphenidate isn't meth at all - it's ritalin/concerta. "Meth" is amphetamine (Adderall) with a substituted methyl group (methamphetamine). This increases its ability to dissolve in lipids, so more enters the brain and at a greater rate.

By mass, methylphenidate is about half the strength of amphetamine. Amphetamine is about 1/5 the strength of methamphetamine, so methylphenidate is about 1/10 the strength of methamphetamine. Amphetamines and methylphenidate also work by different mechanisms, so they have different effects, making the relative strength an imperfect comparison.

Methamphetamine actually is prescribed on rare occasion under the brand name Desoxyn, usually as a last ditch effort for extreme, treatment-resistant ADHD.

Didnt ask but now i know more! Thank you kind stranger! I can finally explain the difference! I used to always say "well yes but actually no" to question "isnt it just meth?"

Funny thing: I didn't ask if you cared and I don't care if you do. I wanted to put the correct information for those who actually care about if things are true or not.

We're not on Facebook, some of us have standards.

[-] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well see, I was doing this thing called a joke that humans do. Sometimes other people laugh, but everyone generally understands that the person making the joke isn't trying to share specific accurate medical information. You felt the need to correct a joke, which makes you the absolute worst kind of loser.

Maybe you should go to Facebook, that's the place for people who think other people need to hear what they have to say.

The ego and your lack of awareness of it is sad bud.

The only thing I've actually found offensive here is that you think anyone would be so stupid as to find that believable.

[-] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sure it's straight meth, sure it makes me a little jittery and my palms a little sweaty, but that's how I know it's working

If you can't see that's a joke you're a lost fucking cause bud, like autistic levels of unable to catch a joke. You've got the sense of humor the pharmaceutical knowledge you dropped earlier suggests.

[-] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 7 points 2 weeks ago

Here's the thing: it wasn't funny. Especially as it's based on false information. It was cringy at best.

[-] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

You're right, I'll get a degree in pharmacology so that I never make a technical mistake when making a joke ever again. I'll make sure to also get degrees in every other technical field before speaking in jest in any capacity about any subject.

And you wanna talk about cringey?

What’s your endgame here? What are you trying to do? Are you an energy vampire, or do you just enjoy being a pointlessly argumentative pithy nonce?

[-] SoleInvictus 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sure buddy. You pretend whatever you need to pretend. We believe you.

[-] markko@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The chances of someone being autistic in a neurodivergent community on an obscure Fediverse platform is pretty miniscule.

That is a joke.

[-] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 7 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe you should relax a bit. The information provided by SoleInvictus was interesting and set things straight. If you post something on social media, be prepared for getting responses. That's how this platform works.

[-] kindnesskills@literature.cafe 3 points 2 weeks ago

People can both understand (maybe even enjoy) a joke, and follow it with a relevant info-dump.

We don't shit on info-dumps here. We appreciate them.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Lol someone got upset they were corrected.

[-] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

I wasn't corrected because I made no assertion. I made a joke, but the terminally online are incapable of thought beyond "INACCURATE INFORMATION MUST CORRECT" and it's fucking sad. It wasn't a funny joke, I'll concede that, but I'm not the one worse for wear of this interaction.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

From over here, it looks like you had a wee little tantrum and are scrambling to explain with an absolute shite story. Your 'joke' may not have been funny, but your response after certainly is.

[-] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sure it's straight meth, sure it makes me a little jittery and my palms a little sweaty, but that's how I know it's working

If you can't figure out that's a joke you're genuinely a lost cause my guy.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Lol sure mate. It's not your joke being a damp squib, it's everyone else. Good luck with that.

I feel like you’re way too invested in whatever hill you’re trying to die on here, and nobody else understands what you’re doing either.

[-] CreateProblems@corndog.social 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Didn't ask

Such a wild response lol

You commented on a forum. People reply. That's... what happens here. The replies are for everyone on the thread, not just you. That's why it was a comment reply and not a DM.

And like, look at where you are, this is an ADHD community. And someone provided relevant information in response to your comment. Of course someone is going to latch on to some small piece and infodump in response, it's the ADHD community

[-] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't ask lol

[-] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

oh huh ive never heard of Desoxyn being prescribed for ADHD, I was under the impression it was only prescribed for extreme cases of narcolepsy
