Stimulants Adderall taking a long time to kick in, then lasting longer?

[regfairfield]

i dont use any any drugs when i take my adderall ( 30 mg ir ). i have never done any stimulant before in my life and i use this drug for its intended purpose which is too help me control my inattentiveness and impulsivity. Today i took 3 10mg ir at 10am, kicked between 12-1230 and the come down is ending now 7+ hours later. this is the second day in a row this has happened. any ideas? im not looking to get higher or anything, just would like it to kick in sooner and continue with its duration.

Did you eat on a full stomach? Are you also eating and staying properly hydrated during the actions of the dexamp?

If you want it to kick in faster, you could lower those dose and change roa to plugging or insufflation. I find Adderall to be my least favorite formulation of dexamp, probably because that levo-. It doesn't potentiate it that much for me, but sodium bicarbonate before dosing adds a little extra duration for me.

no i dont eat it on a full stomach , could the paxil i take act as an inhibitor and thats why it takes so long?

Everybodys' metabolism is different. Are you saying you eat it on a completely empty stomach?

I am prescribed Vyvanse and adderall and every day I take it on an empty stomach, wait 30 minutes, and then have a protein shake and work out.

I don't think the paxil should have any interaction, so it is probably just your metabolism. Do you dislike how long it takes to kick in?

it still takes forever now and thats if it even does kick in...but when it worked for 2 days last week it fucking worked awesome...its feast or famine with this shit...its like giving sight to the blind and taking it away...i know it was my first try with a med but fuck it DID work for 2 days...now im just unsure...and trust me i can write a book about adderall now with all the research i did into it...

Okay, so, what EXACTLY (I mean to a t, everything EXACTLY) did you eat or do the 2 days it worked wonderfully? I find that if I don't get a good night's rest, or if I am backed up from eating to much the night before the meds don't work as well.

Also, as I'm sure you found through your studies, acidic sources of vitamin c (orange juice, citris fruits, etc.) significantly lessen the effects of these medications.

yea i dont screw with vit c or juices when taking the meds...i dont eat before...i dont overeat the day before..in fact i had some veggies before i went to bed..i sleep awesome..in fact when it did work i didnt sleep the night before and it still worked...the more i seem to do the right things the LESS it seems to work...could it not be for me even though it did work twice?

also i havent pissed yet so it cant be that its already getting absorbed and excreted unchanged....im not like 60% of the people on this board looking for a high, what it most frustrating is when it did work i was complimented for my work ethic and picking things up fast, things i had never heard in my life.

ADderall should make you piss non stop you might be dehydrated.

Well, everybody reacts differently to substances. You are definitely a unique case.
