Ok so long story short I wanted to try adderall to study.
I've got 4 10mg IR. I took one (10mg) I'd say an hour ago and I don't feel anything.
I started studying and nothing... i'm still getting distracted, bored, sidetracked.

An hour before taking it I had a pretty normal light breakfast (coffee and toast).
I should mention I'm on prozac. I have a high opiate tolerance if that matters at all.
This is essentially my first time taking adderall - I took 5mgs once but it was like three years ago (didn't do a thing obviously)

So... I don't know if by now I should be taking another 10mgs or wait it out.
I just want to study...

=D thanks for any help/advice.
 
Well, if you do have it, the Adderall will not get you high. In your experience, when using drugs, do you often feel effects opposite or contrary to those that others report experiencing? People with ADD often have "backward" experiences with drugs (i.e., opiates will make them wired and amphetamines will calm them down). If you actually do have ADD, the Adderall will not get you high but will help you focus, as this is its intended purpose.
 
forgot to add that 1:30 hours after the first dose I supposed it was safe to take another 10mg and I definitely felt it kick in. Effects could be stronger, I guess, but it's gotten me in a good mood to study and be productive.

I mean, it is possible that I have adult ADD (who knows, man!) but I've never experienced "opposite effects" for opiates. I have somewhat of a tolerance to them but they definitely get me where they should.
And like I said, I wasn't really looking to get "high" ... I was looking for it to help me focus and help me study for the horrible exam I have tomorrow!
 
Dosage is often dependent on a lot of things. What is your body weight, other medications you may have taken,etc. How did it work out for you on your exam?

It is very important to know this because that fact can change the effects entirely. The recreational dosages for a person with ADD is entirely different than a Non-ADD person.

Key is NEVER Take more than 60mg at one time (this is very high) some my argue either way. That is as high as you should go, and very infrequently. More can increase euphoria, but it takes a signifigant toll in multiple uses. You can supplement it later on depending on state of mind. 40 Mg IR as you said can't cause too many problems, take the other 10. Starting out take no more than 20 at a time. RESEARCH and be RESPONSIBLE. If you know you can't control yourself DO NOT obtain ADDERALL.

Agreed. I've taken 90-100mg of the IR (in vain, just wanted to "feel" it) and it was stupid, wasteful, and made me feel like shit, physically and mentally.
 
I feel you Conky... I have ADD but I can still achieve euphoric states of mind and entactogenic properties. I started a recreational does with with 100mgs IR Adderall myself. It was intense, great and fun all that, but the eventual crash is inevitable and progressively worse with chronic recreational "overdose". I still on ocassion take an extra 30mg on top of a 30mg. My script is 60mg- 30mg (2x daily) anything more than this you cannot make up for by missing a dose later in your script before refill. I have been on it for 2 years or so and if I crash it means death...bed ridden horror for days until I can re-administer. Something I live with but would caution others to avoid. With my meds I am functional and happy. Adderall's comedown is rather rough and urges one to re-adminster, this is more so at higher doses. The key is to find the exact dose for your tolerence to achieve the specific effect desired. One should space out recreational doses accordingly to achieve those desired effects as not to reach a nuerotoxic state. When too many doses are taken in succession and the brain cannot regulate the responses and many undesirable side effects are noticed and the subsequent withdrawal is horrible. Maintain control...

i disagree
60mg is only a moderate dose if you're at all experienced with amphetamines
i reccomend 40 to start with
when i used to do a lot of skrip speed i'd do 120-180mg of dexedrine at a time and i was always cool (with tolerance)

If you seel a recreational dose with a tolerance than I would go about 120mgs at a time as well. I was referring to keeping the doses lower to keep the effective dose to a minimum. This is to decrease overall tolerance and usage rates. So when you do bump it up it stays a positive experience decreasing negative comedown.
