Check out L-carnitine. Amphetamine-induced neurotoxicity might be caused by the oxidative stress produced by the formation of free radicals by excess intracellular dopamine. It messes with mitochondria. The L-carnitine helps the mitochondria take up the long-chain fatty acids that help suck up the little beasties.
How concerned are you that neurotoxicity occurs at therapeutic dosages?
