Hey, everyone - just need some advice. I recently (in November of 2017) started a new job. I absolutely LOVE it, but it is very hard, manual labor. I needed help in the performance enhancement area. Something to give me energy, make me faster & stronger. So a coworker of mine, who had a script for Adderall 30mg IR, but no longer takes it, gave them to me. Let me preface all this with the fact that I have had a lot of experience with a plethora of RX drugs, in the past. I know that it is not advisable or safe to take an RX not prescribed to me by a licenced physician. I'm taking the risk, as I always have. That doesn't mean I can't be as smart as possible, about doing something stupid lol. SO. I'd like y'alls advice on staying as safe as possible while taking this Adderall. I'm not taking it to get high, nothing against anyone who does. I'm taking it to give me enough energy and focus to do my extremely physically demanding job, and also, maybe drop a few pounds (which shouldn't be too hard, seeing as I've already lost 21 lbs, without the Adderall or any drugs, in the past 7 weeks, since starting this job). What should I not mix with this drug? The only other things I take regularly, are: my iron supplement, B12, B6, vitamin C, Singulair, benedryl, ibuprofen and Aleve. I will occasionally (not all together or even on the same day or in the same week) take Temazepam (60 - 90 mg), Xanax (1.5 - 2.5 mg), percocet (10 - 15 mg), Zanaflex (8 - 12 mg), Gabbapentin (1,800 - 3,600 mg *I do this once or twice a week, habitually, and usually between that range, 3 - 6, 600mg pills in one dose. It makes me feel super euphoric and energetic and awesome. But only if I don't do it more than twice a week*). Will ANY of the drugs i just mentioned, OTC or otherwise, cause an adverse reaction if taken in proximity to the adderall? If so, how far should i space them apart? Im asking in the sense of, if when i get off work and wanna try to sleep at 1 or 2am, instead of waiting for the Adderall to wear off, can I take the Temazepam or Xanax? Or is it contraindicated? Also, can I pop a few Aleve or ibuprofen at work while raging on the Adderall? I am anemic, (my last blood work results in December showed my red blood cell count was at 3.51, hemoglobin at 9.8, and hematocrit at 29.7), so my iron supplement is an absolute must, and was very insisted upon by my doctor. Can I take the Adderall with the 650mg of ferrous sulfate (iron) that I am prescribed daily?
Also, I have to eat something before working my shift, so I TRY to eat a healthy protein + carb rich meal (for energy) between 3 and 4 pm, seeing as I have to clock in at 5:55 pm. I've found that if I eat at that time, then take the whole 30 mg tablet of IR Adderall at 5:20 - 5:30 pm, it kicks in right as I need it to. My problem is the whole sleeping thing. I already have a screwed up circadian rhythm, and more than occasional insomnia. I am finding that when I take the 30mg at the aforementioned time (5:20 - 5:30 pm), I can't get to sleep till between 5:30 & 6:30 am the following day. That is why i was asking if i could take the Benzos when i get off work.
I'm planning on not taking any Adderall at all, on my days off, as I do not want to hasten the tolerance that I know will most likely develop sooner, rather than later (Always does with me). What can I expect on my weekends? Will I be so fatigued that I can't get out of bed? Will the urge to binge on pizza and cheeseburgers return every Saturday and Sunday? Because so far, Adderall is the only thing I have ever taken, in my whole 29 years of life, that has even touched my appetite. And by touch, I mean it kills it dead. It's awesome. Lol.
Any other advice y'all can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
