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.

the fact that the mg is chelated- what effect does this have, biologically, versus other commonly consumed mg complexes?

Full chelation completely binds the magnesium molecule to an amino acid, in this case glycine. This creates a stable substance that will prevent the magnesium from binding to other insoluble salts in the stomach. This drastically increases the bioavailability. It also happens to deliver glycine to the brain, which needs to bind to your NMDA receptors along side glutamate to open the ion channel.
