Last month i got my prescription switched from Ritalin IR 20's (which worked amazingly but made me so jittery it was hard to press the right keys on my computer) to Adderall IR 10's. A week after the prescription switch, i tried the Adderall for the first time but ended up with some new side effects i found to be even worse. Took a while before i got the courage to try that again but eventually i did when i ended up waiting until the last day to get started on a school paper i was assigned. This time there was no side effects that i could tell, but i feel like the Adderall also didn't help me with the studying at all, and i didn't get any of the recreational effects i keep hearing about either. It didn't even keep me awake and i fell asleep a couple hours after taking the pill. So, i've come to the decision i'll be asking for either Dexedrine or my Ritalin back next time i go in for a med check-up but this still leaves me with a 3/4 full bottle of Adderall. I may try taking two when school ends to see if that works at all but i also got another idea when i was taking my vitamins tonight.


Does anything change if you crush up an IR medication and take it in powder form? Or since it's already an immediate release would it not make a difference? Because i remembered i still have some normal gel capsules in my room that i can crush the adderall and put in there but i wanted to ask if it would even make any difference if i was to do that. I have a mortor and pestle so i can crush it up really fine but is it even worth the effort? Thanks for any answers.
 
^ Nailed it - the tablets dissolve in your stomach in a matter of seconds, whether or not you crush them beforehand.

By the way, in EVERYONE's experience that I've ever heard of, Ritalin (methylphenidate) has a lot more side effects and jitteriness than Adderall (pseudo-racemic amphetamine). 10mg of adderall is a low dose though - and 20mg of ritalin is a bit on the higher side.

10mg of adderall is probably equivalent to like 7.5mg of Ritalin, FYI. Perhaps you should try taking 20mg adderall every morning instead?
 
Wait, you're saying that 10mg of Adderall is about 7.5mg of Ritalin? I always heard it was much stronger than Ritalin mg for mg.

And IME, the Ritalin had more of a variety of side effects like dry mouth, sweating, jittering, eye dilation, sometimes blurred vision, sometimes red eyes. But it also had positive ones too like; appreciation of music, extreme euphoria, and what most people would compare to low quality cocaine, i was feeling more on the side of medium dose ecstasy.

The Adderall on the other hand only had a few but they were much worse than what i got from the Ritalin (even on the small dose). On the adderall i felt; tired, bored, like i couldn't tell what to do, no enhanced study habits, and on the first day, the WORST stomach pain of my entire life. Like, i literally felt like i was dying. But i didn't get that on the second time when i took it with a probiotic and food.
 
No, mg for mg, if anything, ritalin is stronger acutely - especially by non-oral ROAs

Adderall lasts much longer though.

Oh, good to know. Although it also tells me my doctor is rather confused on the subject. He was telling me Adderall is much stronger and he also said Dexedrine is full of dangerous side effects (which i know is false).

And i only take my medication by oral ROA. But i guess i'm going to try 2 pills then when i can make sure i have nothing going on the day after. He was going to prescribe me the 20's but after hearing it would be stronger and deciding my Ritalin was already strong enough, i asked for the 15's which it turned out weren't an option on his computer and ended up with the 10's. Later realized how dumb that was when i remembered i could just split it in half.
