How efficiently will my brain recover after amphetamine use?

I recently saw a post on bluelight in regards to the regeneration of serotonin receptors following MDMA use, that same post claimed that dopamine production/receptors do not return to normal levels following methamphetamine abuse.
I use dextro-amphetamine at therapeutic doses on a regular basis, usually about 60-90mg a week. I was curious what level of damage this is doing and whether or not this damage is repairable.
Extra information
Exams are over so it's been about 10 days since my last dose, I'm not extensively addicted, I'm still able to do chores and accomplish tasks though slightly less efficiently and I do feel less inclined to socialize. I've been taking amphetamine for about 18 months and have a further 5 years left of university which I would consider using it for, at a decreased dosage of about 40-60mg a week.

This sounds like good advice but I've never heard it before. I take lisdexamfetamine about every other week, how important is this in preventing excitotoxicity? Also, mdma every other month...

That's what the magnesium glycinate is for. It's a voltage-dependent NMDA receptor antagonist. This will modulate your calcium channels, and protect them from being over excited by glutamate.
