My sleep schedule has been messed up for the past 3 days, for example i have been sleeping during the day and i am usually up at night the reason is because i do not have a job but play World of Warcraft alot, and if anyone here plays that game, it definitely takes a lot of time especially when you dont have a job. But anyways I have been up since 9PM my time which is 9 hours ago and that was off of 10 hours of sleep. Here is my question; Would it be ok for me to take some of the 20mg IR adderall to keep me up that my doctor has me prescribed to so I can avoid sleeping in the AM/afternoon hours and so i can avoid being up all night? i have only been up a total of 9 hours so far and do not want to go back to sleep because if i do, I will not wake up until 9-10PM and that will mess up my sleep schedule even more..thanks for any advice and tips, i greatly appreciate it. keep in mind they are 20mg IR generic adderall made by corepharma and i have only been up 9 hours, during which i got 10 hours of sleep
 
Adderall is not a good way to sort out your sleep schedule.

If you miss a nights sleep, the best way to reset it is to stay awake until the next night and then get decent sleep then.

By taking adderall now you may very well fuck up another nights sleep, which can lead to further sleep deprivation and coupled with amphetamines this is not a good risk to take.

Just man up and stay awake until the next night, you don't have work or anything important from the sounds of it. Play some WOW and get an early nights rest in tonight.

sounds good thanks for the quick reply but if i took some adderall now it will definitely help me stay up and then when i want to sleep at night would it be OK if I took ambien since my dr has me on that as well?
 
Well essentially it would be ok. However you are now riding the rollercoaster of uppers and downers.

The half-life of adderall would leave some in your system when you are dosing the Zolpidem, and we all know well the risks of staying awake on Zolpidem ;).

I have never had much success with using Zolpidem as a sleep aid due to cross tolerance from benzodiazepine use. It would never be enough to override adderall IME.

the doctor also has me on 2mg xanax, so i can use that to sleep when night time comes..is there anything like hallucination, etc that can happen from adderall like it can happen if you stay up on zolpidem? thats the last thing i need is to be hallucinating lol
 
and I know it's not exactly the healthiest option to get my sleep schedule on track by using addys for one or at max 2 days cant really hurt too much or can it?
 
Amphetamine coupled with sleep deprivation can cause amphetamine psychosis causing hallucinations and shifts in perception.

I would say Xanax is perfect for an adderall come down for sleep. As you say however don't extend it for any longer than a couple of days.

awesome i appreciate the quick responses so i will be safe using adderall at safe doses obviously to stay up today and then come night time, i will definitely use the xanax to help me sleep and the most i am doing this for is maybe 2 days (today and tom,orrow) just so i have a normal sleep schedule aghain
