Dosages in 3 studies above are ~20mg d-amphetamine (Dexerine) on day 1,3 and 5. No need for microdosing and the phenomenon persists for at least 1 year. The question is:

If Amphetamine sensitization is indeed dangerous, why is it rarely mentioned in studies about Prescription Stimulant Medication Misuse? Why they keep recruit healthy individuals to make them sensitized? Why is amphetamine approved for ADHD? Isn't it too easy to get amphetamine sensitization?

What I meant to ask is "is Amphetamine sensitization" bad?

I think we need more information to say for sure. On the surface I would say no, but that's just an educated guess.
