Hey guys so I recently was prescribed 10mg xr adderall. Iv been needing some extra motivation to do anything, so Iv been crushing up 60mgs at a time and taking it orally. However I?m seeing no real effects, I?m still just as sluggish and sometimes I end up just falling asleep. The only thing I?ve noticed is the comedown I?m anxious and my heart seems like it?s pounding but that?s nothing I can?t handle. I?m just wondering if this is normal or if I?m expecting more ?dope? like effects that aren?t going to be happening? How do you personally feel on adderall and is there a high I should be noticing or a better way to take this adderall for better results? Any info helps. Thanks bluelight family
Hey PandaVii, I hate to point this out, but first, you are seriously messing with a tolerance you may or may not have yet. By tolerance, I don't mean if you can "handle" the amount of the drug or not, I mean using high dose amphetamine for any length of time. It could be 2 weeks, 6 months, or ? What worsens it is if your fairly new to amphetamines. It won't help if you already have a real tolerance.
Here's one for you. ADD treatment is at the minimum a medicine and non drug combination treatment. Now, you might have too many distractions happening currently, so it makes the medication appear not to work as well as it should. There is the chance you used to abuse Adderall. That whould explain tolerance. If thats the case your SOL for a while. You may have simply been prescribed too low a dose. Way better then over prescribed.
Needing extra energy, is the wrong reason to take the medicine at all.
How long have you used amphetamines, ballpark lifetime? That would get you an answer quicker.
Afa as what effects you should notice, in my experience with amphetamine, I know when it's working when everything is sharp(er). I notice more detail, hours go by just because I'm busy focusing. Taking 60 mg at once is too much. That is the suggested maximum total daily dosage for IR Adderall. I just read an article that suggests that a lower dose overall will allow you to get more done. YMMV.
How often do you dose? You shouldn't have a racing heart and anxiety. Those are 2 overdose factors.
The more you take will make the crash worse btw.
Eat some vitamin C and make sure your are drinking fluids like water or Gatorade. Also, eat something healthy. A smallsh portion will work.if you keep dosing, you simply will keep increasing the negative effects. Also read the search engine for numerous related threads.
I suggest you tell your doctor that it doesn't work for you. Abusing will only ruin a low tolerance and overall,destroy your body.
