what is considered a high dosage? what is your ideal and/or usual dosage.

i took 60mg IR at 8am then 60mg IR at 12:30pm and i'm wondering if i'll be able to sleep tonight. they were the round orange 15mg teva/barr tabs. i didn't even really feel like i was speedin or anything really. just a bit of a body high, alertness, and focused.
 
ehh it depends on quite a few things. like your tolerance, if you have food in your stomach or not, if the pill is actually ADDERALL or an off/generic brand like Amphetamine Salts.

my own personal experience is an actual Adderall 30mg capsule. one half of the capsule orange and the other clear- with tiny orange balls inside. if i have eaten and pop one then it will only kinda work for a little while, 1-2 hours MAX. but if i pop another one once i feel the affects are wearing off, it will keep me up all night. but then again id take it around 9pm or so. if i havent eaten the affect of the first capsule will seem to work quite a bit longer. but my tolerance has built and it takes about two to keep my speed goin.

if you took one at 12:30pm, you'll most likely be able to sleep because each one only lasts about 6-8 hours. the whole feelin like your not speedin and just alert and focused could mean you might actually have the medical reason Adderall is meant for. or your body is too tired from lack of sleep and the Adderall just wont work as well compared to your body being rested (happened to me). also could be that just one isnt enough to give you that high *speeding* feeling, which could be if you've built a tolerance to it.

all in all taking one of the 15mg teva/barr tabs (which ive never heard of as Adderall) or the 60mg IR (also never heard of as Adderall)--> if those are ADDERALL maybe just different name and form, at 8am and 12:30pm- you should be able to sleep around your normal time to go to bed. just maybe no naps before then :P

i do have a lot of experience with Adderall and i know how they work plus all the side effects that it causes. so if you ever need anything else having to do with Adderall, let me know cuz ill be able to help quite a bit :)

what's a high dose of Adderall? depends who you ask. i've seen people consider anything above 60mg. a high dose and ones that swear by 250mg. doses as their upper limit. IMO, a dosage of more than 150mg. in a 24 hour period is a high dose. i switched to Vyvanse a few months ago after being on Adderall for about 5 years. while on Adderall, i preferred 60mg. a day (30mg. XR, twice a day). that was a Therapeutic dose for me. if i wanted to get nice and spun, i would simple double that. 120mg. was my ideal recreational dose.

i took 60mg IR at 8am then 60mg IR at 12:30pm and i'm wondering if i'll be able to sleep tonight. they were the round orange 15mg teva/barr tabs. i didn't even really feel like i was speedin or anything really. just a bit of a body high, alertness, and focused.

how much of a tolerance do you have? 120mg., dosed the way you took it, should have had you nice and tweaky. the teva/barr tabs are nice so you were good in that regard. maybe it was a fluke?

I think I have psychosis and I didn't even take that ¤uch

what makes you think that? AMPH psychosis is usually brought on by chronic high-dose use and sleep deprivation. does that fit? a predisposition to psychotic states would also be a factor. regardless, take a break from AMPH until you get that figured out. if it's really bad, get help.

just to clarify: BARR/TEVA manufactures both brand name Adderall IR and generic Adderall IR. CorePharma is the only other manufacturer of generic Adderall IR (AFAIK) and it's a shitty product. i've never seen anyone with brand name Adderall IR. it's incredibly expensive (about 8x the price of generic). generic Adderall made by BARR/TEVA, which lists as "Amphetamine, Dextro-amphetamine mixed salts" is totally good. there's nothing "off" about it at all. Shire, the creator of Adderall, does still manufacture name brand Adderall XR while BARR/TEVA makes the generic XR version "Amphetamine, Dextro-amphetamine mixed salts". i've never noticed a difference between the two nor have i read any reports that others were experiencing problems with the generic XR Adderall. moral of the story: generic Adderall IR made by CorePharma is essentially the only version of Adderall that is well known for being garbage and should be avoided.

on the ADD forums corepharma was the preferred generic by most.
 
I'm glad i came across this.

I've been taking adderall for about 6 months. I use the exact manufacturer you do but i take the barr labs 20mg IRs and I'm prescribed 4 - 20mg tablets a day.

I was taking the 20 mg tablets for about a month only once a day, then switched to twice/day, so on..

My tolerance level has been gradually getting higher and higher. Now, if i take a 20 mg tab i can fall asleep. Thats how ineffective they are on me now. Since i get 120 pills a month started taking 30 mg 4x a day for a while. Today, i noticed myself not even feeling a therapeutic dose of it. I had forgotten i had even taken the pill to begin with.

I tried taking two 20mg at the same time and it did a world of difference. So, naturally, I have once again raised my tolerance by 10mg.

I haven't even thought about using it recreational for about two months, and thats why i started it in the first place! I'd like to hear the outcome of the OP on the 60mg they took.
 
60-90mg ir is about as high as I'm comfortable with, but its a once every 2 years or so thing. Some cross tolerance is noted if using aderall within 3 days of sida cordifolia.
 
I cannot imagine ever taking a dose greater than 30 mg. I would take 20 mg and that would put me in such an unbelievably good mood, man. I would write two 15 page papers back-to-back, clean my car, run errands, cook dinner... It makes my head spin thinking about it now.

Oh, and then once I stopped sleeping altogether, I began hallucinating....not a good time, man. Be careful!

i'm surprised there's even one single person who prefers CorePharma's stuff. about 2-3 years ago it caused a bit of an uproar among us Adderall-aficionados because, if i remember correctly, it became Walgreen's default brand of generic Addie IR. they felt noticeably weaker than their BARR/TEVA counterpart and never seemed to last more than an hour or two. i haven't seen any CorePharmas for about a year and a half. maybe they got their shit together.

@s2k1099: has the steady increase in your Adderall dosage caused/amplified any side effects? once i hit 60mg. a day, it took me about 10 days to figure out my Adderall days were over. too much irritability, ridiculous mood swings and crashes from hell. it had lost a decent amount of its effectiveness as well. just curious, what do you dislike the most about where you're at with Adderall now?
 
Why must you make a thread like this every week? Why can't you just ask the question in the other 5 threads that are pretty much the exact same question.

for me anything over about 100mg would be a high dose that would keep me up for a while. But since you took it at 12:30pm I think you should have enough time for it to wear off and sleep..
