How to get "unstuck" while on adderall/amphetamines/stimulants?

Wow, OP. Those are some massive doses you were taking! Like really, massive...200-300mg is so outrageous, man. You should look into the health risks associated with high doses of adderall. I'm only hoping you have a tolerance/experience with stims.

Are you consuming these doses all at once or scattered throughout the day? How long have you been doing this? (forgive me if this has been mentioned)
But either way, Lower your dose please!! (consider by 50% as a start). I am almost certain you will see results.
Most importantly, Go get a check up at your GP and/or see a cardiovascular specialist!!

Good luck buddy.

The doses were scattered throughout the day. I started taking 100 mg of the xrs at once, figuring it wouldn't all hit at once so i was only taking 50mg at first, then started adding in the IRS 2 hours later when i didn't feel it enough and it just kind of spiraled from there.

This is only my fifth binge with adderall, using heavily for 3-5 days and then not using again for a month. i used to shoot cocaine many years ago, so i believe i still have a "psychological" tolerance to the high of stimulants.

Definitely planning on lowering my doses. The comedown was horrible. I really screwed my body up.

So what is an amount for a normal recreational dose? And am i right that only have of the xrs get released at once? I did chew them up but I'm not so sure that actually defeated the time release.

It's hard to say what a normal recreational dose is because everyone is different and everyone has different experiences. I hate to be indirect about it, but it's true.
I can tell you based off my experience/routine, I take only one 30mg XR and it gets the job done.
Occasionally, I will drink something with caffeine to increase the stim feeling if I still have shit to do but I also don't have a major history with stims nor any preexisting tolerance. But at the same time, I know people who have taken 80mg a day and are hardly affected by it. I really think to quantify a recreational dose is ultra subjective and is clearly opinion based, but I'm going to say under 100mg; for the sake of harm reduction.

And I had trouble reading your question, but i'll try to give an answer; I don't know much about how the extended release really works but with a quick google search I saw a lot of material relating to that. I briefly read that the XR does release half the dose up front and lasts around 4 hours...

But yeah man, to get unstuck on stims, you should lower your dose but also try to stay aware of the situation. Sometimes I get stuck doing dumb shit too (even on just 30mg) haha. Sometimes i'll begin the task I need to complete first, then pop an adderall, so by the time it's fully kicked in, I am fully invested into accomplishing my task.

Hope this helps.

Anything over 60mg is:STUCK LIKE CHUCK.
Please don't take 200mg, going 24hours without sleep can cause heart failure. one of my friends died like that, he bought a bunch of time released 30mg's and kept taking them for like 3 days until he went outside to smoke a cigg and dropped dead.

I'd also like to say "use small doses".

However, sad though it is that your friend died of heart failure, blaming a chronic condition that generally takes years to develop on staying up 3 days due to amps isn't credible.
 
I used to have the same problem with Adderall (I switched to Dexiedrine awhile back, surprisingly the doctor didn’t mind changing the script at all. I really neeed prescription stimulants as well but I binge on the extras even tho I know I really shouldn’t) I do the same when I abuse Dexedrine too tho. First step is take a break and reduce your tolerance, I know you said you’ve only been using it a few days but at those doses you probably already built up a decent tolerance. I know it’s somewhat hypocritical but don’t take dosages anywhere near that high even over 24hrs and taking more at an even higher dose the next day makes it way more dangerous because even though the duration of action is 3-6hrs with IRs and 8-12 for XRs in some cases the half life of d-amphetamine (Adderall contains a mix of dextro and levoamphetamine) can be 30+hrs (not sure about levoamphetamine off the top of my head) which means even if you don’t necessarily still feel anything the drug(s) can build up in your system more and more after every dose. After you’ve taken a tolerance break try a much lower dose for motivation 40-45mg XR should be plenty without a tolerance it might help to take an antacid 5mins before taking the Adderall, I know it is supposed to make them last longer and think it can make them feel stronger, if they begin to wear off try taking 5-10mg IR I wouldn’t go past that personally unless I was using recreationally I think the idea behind prescribing IRs after the initial dose of XR is to try to build the amount remaining in your blood from the XR back up for a short time. I know doses can vary widely from person to person but I always found that at 60mg+ is when it started to distract more than motivate, that also seemed to be the dose at which it began to feel recreational. If 45mg of XR isn’t enough try adding 15mg the nex day but I’d say not to exceed 75mg.

If 75mg isn’t enough to help with motivation I’d personally say this isn’t the right drug for you. Doses needed can vary widely from person to person but I honestly don’t think it could that much, I mean most people new to the drug taking the doses you reported would be losing their minds and talking to the shadow people, the only explanation I can come up with is that maybe the CNS depressant effects of your pain meds are blocking the CNS stimulant effects of the Adderall. If that is the case if you could stand to skip either the morphine or hydrocodone or decrease the normal amount you take it might improve the effectiveness of the Adderall quite a bit, it doesn’t help as well as opiates obviously but Adderall can provide some pain relief that kinda works like an adrenaline rush. I hope this helped
 
Over 1mg/kg tends to produce repetitive, hardly usable motions and "activities", until tolerance kicks in, maybe even over .5mg/kg

Every medication has a sweet-spot

I take tolerance breaks of minimum of 3-4 weeks. It used to be months, but now that I have a hookup every month and get them for free, my use has become a lot more frequent. And I don't use them in combination with my opiates, I only use them when I have run out of my opiates.

No matter how long the tolerance break, I can get high the first day, and then any subsequent use after that, I can't get high no matter how much I take.

I'm wondering if for me a lot of it is psychological. I used to shoot cocaine, and overdosed (went into a full blown seizure, had a stroke- whole bit). I'm wondering if I just don't feel high because I've basically been as high as you can get without dying via my overdose, so I'm looking for something that intense (without the ODing part), and it's just impossible to attain.

I have the same problem with opiates after overdosing shooting heroin. No matter how much I take I don't feel high, because I've been as high as you can get.

I agree this isn't the right drug for me, not in the crazy doses I take. I'm just trying to figure out a way to take them recreationally where I feel like they are working, without taking dangerous amounts- especially since I'm getting them for free.
 
I don't buy that you can't get high on h just because you ODed. I've never heard of that and known plenty of ppl that od and can get high. I ODed and I can get off just fine

I guess it's possible you have some reward system damage but I've honestly never heard of that with H

Also 2oo mg of amp for a person with no tolerance is insane. Not sure how u can even handle a dose like that even spread throughout the day

Start doing the productive thing you want to get done before the Addy kicks in and that's what you'll focus on.

And yeah lower your dose.
 
I've been on adderal 30 mg and 10 mg extended release for about a year now... I still get stuck.
I've noticed though, less of that when I don't eat before taking the 30 in the morning. I don't eat at all through the day because of that, and I feel that high off and on throughout.. but no stuck.
Though sometimes theres no preventing it, so i make a point to skip a night of sleep, and the following day it's like I pressed the restart button.
Or I've found a glass of wine or shot of whiskey helps too.
 
Holy hell.. I went into a severe depression after my kid was born, I was an anxious, sad mess because suddenly I was alone with a baby and hubby was gone forever. . Everyone telling me to shut up and clean... I just couldn't. So I drank. Then I went through so many anti depressants and finally I said enough and saw another doctor... bam. Add. Here's some adderal. Saved my damn life. Aside from muscle relaxers for back spasms, I don't need sht. But ..whoa. I get you.
 
2 or 300 milligrams is way too much, unless you're looking to get caught in a loop of cleaning your house over and over. IMO, that won't improve your productivity. It'll just make you hyperfocused on ONE tiny thing. Take less. 15 or 20 mg is perfect for productivity. Even 10. More than 25 or 30 is guaranteed to be overkill. And at a certain point the hyperfocus becomes counterproductive. I have a prescription for it so I take it everyday aside from breaks here and there. Also 2 or 300 milligrams could be dangerous for your heart since it is a strong stimulant and an amphetamine. Oh and don't ever take it too late either due to the insomnia. Taking too much makes you tweaked out but does nothing to improve productivity, at least no more than light doses

Well man idc your reason, to get shit done or get high, i dont care because i was hooked on opiates for 9 years, i OD 5 times all in my 9th year because thats when i went to the needle, now let me explain something, even though stimulants aren't my drug of choice i have been doing coke and speed since i was 12, im 27 now, so i learned alot, now im back to doing stims because it helps me stay off the shit, been clean for opiates for a yr, but dont take my method of compensations as a good idea, it simply works for me, anyways, for starters, stims like coke and especially speed in my eyes is a 2 day deal out of a month, you can get away every 2 weeks but least you do it the better, also why this is happening, is because your going WAY over the "good fun no bad time" dose for this drug, my first day i do 60mg IR second ill do 80, once daily for 2 days then done, if not ill binge trying to find that high, one time i went on 5 day binge, no sleep nothing, after 2nd day, it was trash no matter amount, i took 300mg on 5th day, had no control just wanted my high, ill NEVER do that again, but, your biggest issue is, your trying to achieve a crack and shooting coke high from these addies, unfortunately i 100% get why you start with so much because our minds tell us "well its a weaker drug than im used to so i need way more" thats rational thinking for us that's why im telling you plz cool it a,month, pop, don't snort, pop 60mg IR you'll be good to go, great euphoria Last a while, but you'll never get that feeling you want because it simply cannot be achieved with this drug, good news is, you wait a month without doing ANYTHING you'll love it, just aim lower my friend, i suggest you do this because its far safer than what you were doing and last longer, just try gaining control, good luck out there man, stay strong!
 
if i take a 10mg adderall, i sweat through every pore in my skin, and get the hershey squirts. i cant imagine taking even 60mg, spaced out through the day or not.
 
You're taking wayyyyyyy too much. That's pretty obvious. Stop for a few weeks and try 60mgs, clean that baby top and bottom. For me personally,, too much stimulant cancels itself out, anymore that 90mg of adderal and I'm gonna start yawning and getting bummed out. Over stimulation brudah!
 
This is so accurate. If I am just looking to spin for the sake of spinning, I take a large dose and ride it out, if I try to accomplish anything my odds are worse than average but if I take a measured dose, I get that super human focus and determination that I never otherwise have.
 
I have relatively little experience with amp or meth, but I have the degenerate habit to push it to the limit when I do something. That said, I've done (with basically no tolerance) up to a gram of amp within 24 h or over 300 mg of 2-fluorometh within the same time period, obviously on separate occasions. I don't know if I have little sensitivity to amp, but that wasn't as bad; 2-fluorometh going beyond high doses resulted in what at least one poster in this thread described: extreme obsession with a single useless activity, unable to focus in a sensible manner, quick passage of time, obsession with detail in an unreasonable matter. All that combined has resulted in me spending hours basically doing nothing. I mean, I was doing something, all the time (unlike an opioid nod), but in the end I hadn't done anything.

Moral of the story is - keep your doses low. In low doses, amps really do improve focus and energy, but in high doses it all goes south. If you want to use amps to get shit done, don't do what I do when I use amps - don't try to also get high, because recreational doses of amps are very likely to result in the typical "tweaker" behaviour.
 
Get up and move lol you just gotta put the stims down and move. Get feed, hydrated, showered, then I do push ups or run. I know it's extremely hard to do. I shorta like it but you can't actually let it control you. Don't dose that high next time if you need to be on top of your shit. Though I am a hypocrite cuz I am as I wrote this.
