Caution
Amphetamines as a stimulant may mask some of the negative side effects of DPH, leading to delusions of sobriety which has additional concern in states of delirium. The combination of stimulants will increase strain on the heart and may cause some physical discomfort, and has the chance to cause life-threatening cardiovascular issues. The combination may also increase each other's neurotoxicity at higher dosages. The combination may increase anxiety levels and risks of thought loops on higher dosages, in addition to increasing each others negative side effects. Medical and common dosages of each substances are reported to not be a concern. Additionally, it is suggested that DPH potentiates amphetamine psychomotor activation, in addition to other interactions such as potentiation through inhibition of CYP2D6 and histamine H1 and H2 receptors, among other alterations.
The risk here is to the experience — intensity, panic, thought loops, confusion. Physical harm is unlikely at ordinary doses. Setting, company and dose do most of the work.
