I didn’t look to see if Hatari replied to this thread, but he’s a dentist, right? If that’s true, he’d have the real scoop.
I’ve got a fair understanding of autonomic drugs. What I don’t know is if legit (people with an Rx filled by a pharmacist) users of real, oral (pills) methamphetamine [Dexedrine] for appetite suppression, or whatever the indications were thirty/forty/fifty/sixty years ago had the same meth mouth problems. If they did not, my hypothesis is that most recreational users nowadays smoke it and the direct effect of a potent vasoconstrictor on the gingival tissue is the root cause of all the oral devastation - think periodontal disease on steroids.
Yes as a said before it is the direct vasoconstrictor effect of the phenyletheramine on the tissue that causes the problem, just as the nicotine does from smoking.
No oral dosing does not cause this problem.
