For story reasons I should love to hear about benzedrine

Cool beans.

So benzedrine is the (UK?) trade (brand) name used early in the 20th century for amphetamine.

Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1927 as an alternative to ephedrine, which was used to treat asthma and congestion. Fairly quickly people realized that it had several other benefits, including increased concentration, better performance on intelligence tests, wakefulness, and a better side effect profile than ephedrine. This lead to some pediatricians testing it for use on ADHD, though this was not widespread at the time.

And it wasn't super popular at this time overall.

During WWII, about 150 million tablets of benzedrine and it's cousin dexadrine were distributed to the Allies. This demand meant production shot up, and while they were used heavily by Allied troops, there was still a severe overstock problem at the end of the war.

Most of the overstock amphetamine found its way into the black market. It wasn't until the mid 1950s that an abuse potential for amphetamine was formally recognized. At the time benzedrine was primarily being used for depression, as this was before early antidepressants like MAOIs and Tricyclics had been developed.

Today, amphetamine is used primarily to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. The closest drug we have to the original preparation of benzedrine today is Adderall.

Finally got around to posting my pics from the FOB concert last Tuesday! It was my friend’s (Sandman) idea to go to the MANIA concert dressed as female versions of the Suitehearts characters and I couldn’t have had a better time. Those boys put on a fantastic show!
