Hi All,
I've read extensively about amphetamine harm and tolerance reduction over the past month, including many, if not all, of the relevant bluelight threads (which are excellent, btw). I say this merely to inform any potential responders that I have already done my baseline research and probably a bit more. My questions are specific to my situation and I'm posting because I would feel much more comfortable with input from BL before I proceed to take any action.
Background
I take Adderall XR generic 20mg and 10mg IR therapeutically. I don't really chase the euphoria and rarely use the meds recreationally. Rather, I want to optimize my productivity in law school to facilitate reaching my academic/career goals. However, sometimes I take more than prescribed. For example, in the past month I've been extra busy because of job applications and finals/final papers. I've taken an extra 10-20mg a day on average. As a result of my increased dose, I've 1) experienced more negative side affects; and, naturally 2) raised my tolerance.
I've since changed my diet significantly and increased my water about 5x the previous intake. I've also created a basic "stack" that is based in harm/tolerance reduction: magnesium, a good multivitamin, ALCAR, zinc, vitamin D, and melatonin/vitamin C at night. I've rid myself of the illusion that less sleep is fine because I can just dose with my meds in the AM. I also potentiate with tums/baking soda often. I've seen positive effects already.
But what I need most is a break. Finals end tomorrow and I plan to take a break for as long as possible. I'd like to maximize my tolerance reduction during this period. In addition to the above measures, I was thinking about using DXM and ketamine while on break from stimulants. I've seen conflicting opinions on this site about the efficacy of both options.
How to proceed
My question is, should I pursue these measures, and if so, how? For example, should I take 30-50 ML of DXM a few times daily in addition to insufflating ketamine in small amounts a few times daily (I'm not interested in doing anything intravenous)? Or should I just pursue one of the options? If so, again, how exactly should I proceed? That is, if I ingest DXM/Ket, what is the proper amount, frequency (times a day/week), and for how long?
One more thing. I don't really want to go into a K hole or have a DXM trip, or whatever it is called. It seems a continuous antagonism of NDMA receptors would be preferable to bombing them once or twice anyway.
I'd appreciate any input. Thanks for your time.
