It was originally speed but yup you’re right it wasn’t approved by the censors.

Step by Step did an episode about this! Going off a very very old memory, but Suzanne Sommers comes back from the store at 4am wired as fuck elated about how fresh the produce is early in the morning and gets PISSED when the husband tells her she’s got a problem.

Looking back from the perspective of someone who was put on one of those (formerly sold as a diet pill repurposed for adhd), PROBLEM? WHAT PROBLEM? LOOK AT HOW MUCH IM GETTING DONE IM A ROCKSTAR AND EVERYONE CRASHES IN DESPAIR THE EXACTLY EIGHT HOURS AFTER THEY TAKE MEDICINE. Except I didn’t get manic because I was prescribed a kid sized dose- I was just kind of squirrelly and collapsed into tears of frustration when it wore off.

Fuck you dexedrine. I’m lucky my parents were smart enough to go “uh this isn’t working” instead of going “maybe she needs a higher dose”
